"What Color is Your Parachute?" is a self-help book by Richard Nelson Bolles intended for job-seekers. It has been in print since 1970 and has sold over ten million copies. The book provides guidance on how to find meaningful work and career success, covering topics such as networking, resume writing, and interviewing. The title of the book is a metaphor for finding ones ideal job, and it comes from a joke Bolles made at a business meeting in 1968 when someone told him that he and several co-workers were "bailing out" of a failing organization, prompting Bolles to ask, "What color is your parachute?". The book has been updated many times, with the latest edition being "What Color Is Your Parachute? 2022".
