He was featured in Time, the New York Times, BusinessWeek, Fortune, Money, Fast Company, the Economist, and Publishers Weekly, and appeared on the Today show, CNN, CBS, ABC, PBS, and other popular media. Bolles keynoted hundreds of conferences, including the American Society for Training & Development and the National Career Development Association. A member of Mensa, the Society for Human Resource Management, and the National Resume Writers Association, he was considered “the most recognized job-hunting authority on the planet” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “America’s top career expert” (AARP). Time magazine chose What Color Is Your Parachute? as one of the hundred best nonfiction books written since 1923. The Library of Congress chose it as one of twenty-five books down through history that have shaped people’s lives. It appeared on the New York Times best seller list for more than five years. The book has sold ten million copies, to date, and has been translated into twenty languages and used in twenty-six countries. Bolles was trained in chemical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and earned a bachelor’s degree cum laude in physics from Harvard University, a master’s in sacred theology from General Theological (Episcopal) Seminary in New York City, and three honorary doctorates. He recently passed away in March 2017 at age ninety after a lifetime of service to job-hunters across the world.
