Why? Only 20 percent of jobs and internships are posted online; this means 80 percent of positions are filled in what is called the hidden job market. This book will teach you how to tap into that 80 percent, and become twelve times more likely to land a position you applied for online, by creating an internal advocate in the organizations you're interested in. Who? Sean O'Keefe, in partnership with the Career Leadership Collective, shares his proven eight-step Career Launch Method, which will help any student develop professional relationships from scratch. What? The book includes access to the Career Launch Readiness Assessment©, which helps students evaluate their competency in five key areas and offers personalized recommendations for improvement, if applicable. Launch Your Career also features first-person stones from students from all backgrounds who used Career Launch Method to earn positions at a wide range of companies, nonprofits, government agencies, and social enterprises.
