"This may be the most important book a college senior ever reads."
LAUNCH! stands out among job search guides for one reason: it's the first and only career assessment with a test that compares twenty of your job skills and attitudes to college seniors across the country. This shows you where you'll do well and helps avoid poor-fitting jobs.
Also discover whether you'll be happier in small or large organizations. This is a critical fact that no other tests or job search guides consider.
Too many college students, approaching graduation, spend all their time mass-mailing resumes and applying online to posted positions. This is a brutal, demeaning process. LAUNCH! shows you how to use your network to find career openings before they're advertised. That makes you the only candidate. And the whole process becomes more pleasant, rejections are fewer and you get better job offers.
Titles mislead. The Quality Assurance Trainee who measures toxic chemical residue in the cotton fields has a different job than the classmate who tests imported perfume batches in Manhattan. Both probably took chemistry and statistics, but their jobs are way different.
Unlike other job search guides, LAUNCH! shows how to dig beyond titles into the real tasks of jobs, with dozens and dozens of examples.
Resumes don't matter. Except they can lose you the interview. So a certain amount of effort into making yours effective is important. More important, however, is how to use that resume once you're a college senior and approaching graduation. LAUNCH! gives you a handful of common-sense ideas for your resume that, all together, should triple the response rate you get. This real-world job search manual also suggests three formats that work.
LAUNCH! tells you how to interview better. And it has nothing to do with trick questions, snappy answers or being the champion glib-master. Handling interviews has everything to do with attitude, a little research, being fearless about asking a few pointed questions yourself and, if you like the answers, gracefully asking for the job. This book shows you how.
LAUNCH! has a calendar in back that guides you towards cashing that first paycheck in 90 days.
And this should be a happy job, leading to a great career. No, there's no guarantee of that. You've got to do your share of the work. But we do guarantee that you'll be thrilled by LAUNCH! and it's advice, or, you get all your money back, no questions asked, plus one dollar.
