In today’s uncertain world, job-hunting is no longer an optional exercise, but a survival skill repeatedly used over one’s life. Familiar and frustrating to many of us in the working world is how our employers sometimes hire people who are poor fits for the job. This is a cruel but unavoidable reality as the one who gets hired is not necessarily the one who can do the job best but the one who knows the most about how to get hired. Rather than lament about this, we can learn how the world of employment works and how to use this information to our benefit.

First published in 1970, and has been updated annually since 1985. This summary on What Color Is Your Parachute? uses the 2019 version of the book, which was released in 2018.

Richard N. Bolles has led the career development field for more than 40 years. He was featured in many magazines and popular media outlets such as CNN, CBS, ABC, Today Show, and PBS. Bolles has also been the key speaker of many conferences.

In this summary, you will
Why being a good listener is just as important as being a good talker;
Why it might be wise to take down those spring break photos; and
How online transparency can work to your advantage.

“Unless you look dirty, wild, and disreputable, and smell really bad if you know what your talent is, I guarantee some employer is looking for you” ― Richard N. Bolles
