Launch Your Career: How ANY Student Can Create Relationships with Professionals and Land the Jobs and Internships They Want.
by
This book shows how any college student can land the position they want by creating relationships with professionals in the industries they're interested in by using the author's proven Career Launch Method. Did you know only 20 percent of jobs and internships are posted online? This means 80 percent of positions are filled in what Sean O'Keefe and others calls the hidden job market. This book will teach you how to tap into that 80 percent! O'Keefe, in partnership with the Career Leadership Collective, is now sharing his proven eight-step Career Launch Method that will help any student explore career options and land the internships and jobs they want by creating professional relationships from scratch. This book demystifies the concept of intentional, proactive relationship building by teaching all the practical microsteps needed to succeed. And O'Keefe teaches readers how to "play the student card," turning inexperience and eagerness to learn into a powerful advantage. Launch Your Career features first-person stories of students from all backgrounds and programs of study who have used the Career Launch Method to earn jobs or internships at all types of companies, nonprofits, government agencies, social enterprises, and institutions across the country and around the world. The book includes the Career Launch Readiness Assessment, which helps students evaluate their competency in five key areas. This book will become a go-to resource for students looking to find internships and jobs, as well as a needed tool for colleges looking to increase retention rates and student's return on investment.
On the Job: An Encyclopedia of Unique Occupations Around the World
by
This one-volume encyclopedia examines jobs and occupations from around the world that are unique and out of the ordinary, from bike fishermen in the Netherlands and professional wedding guests in South Korea to elephant dressers in India. It's not surprising that the first question we are asked by strangers often has to do with what we do for a living. It's another way of asking, "Who are you, and what are you about?" But what happens when the answer to that question is "I am a gondolier" or "I am an Instagram influencer?" This book tries to answer that question, focusing on approximately 100 unusual occupations around the world. Arranged alphabetically, entries define the jobs and detail their historical, social, and cultural significance. Entries also examine where the job is located, how it came to be, how people get into the position, and what the economic and future outlook is for that job. While the entries focus on contemporary jobs, the encyclopedia also includes sidebars that highlight unique jobs from history to give the reader a sense of how unusual (and often terrible!) some jobs once were. Students will find this book useful in looking at cultures around the world.
