  Humans may have reached a time in their history where the number of possibilities they have regarding the way they do things and solve problems exceed by far any hope they have ever had before: the human race can boast having travelled in outer space, exploring other planets, galaxies – just in case we fail with the “little” we have got. It has managed to find cures to many of the diseases which used to kill us by the millions. For the last century, humans have developed technologies and devices which help them move forward, farther and faster, in spite of the problems mother nature or natural evolution might have brought their ways. In fact, they have not only managed, they thrived. So much so that after War World II, in the USA for instance, there was an unprecedented economic and baby boom that gave hope and left the scars of the global deflagration far behind in the back of the people’s minds: the look was only forward. The world population has more than tripled compared to the 1950s. We are now more numerous than ever, so numerous that many are wondering where we could find the resources to feed such a large number and continue living and avoid conflict. As a result, we are busier than ever, not only to move to the next natural step in our evolution and progress, but also to find solutions to our newly-born, man-made issues humanity is now facing. Humans may have succeeded to exceed their limitations so far; however, not without paying a price: stress and anxiety, depression, sleep troubles. The fast pace of our modern living has, thus, not come without paying a toll. What to do? While we cannot do anything about the fact that we were born in this day and age or about the way in which society as a whole chooses to do things, there is something we can do about the way in which we relate to what is happening outside ourselves. Read this quick guide and you will find out how easy it can be to transgress your difficulties.

  This book shows how ANY student can get a job, internship or research position they want using the Career Launch Method—a detailed framework based on a key insight: the clearest path to landing a position you want is through creating relationships with professionals in the industries you desire. 
   
  It's tough to find an internship or job that you really want during the best of times, and these are not the best of times.  
    
  Did you know only 20% of jobs and internships are posted online? This means 80% of positions are filled in what Sean O'Keefe  and others calls the hidden job market. And while the success rate of applying to online job postings is less than 2%, if you develop an internal advocate at the organizations you're interested in, you are 12 times more likely to land a position. 
    
  O'Keefe, in partnership with The Career Leadership Collective, is now sharing his proven, 8-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 micro-steps needed to succeed. O'Keefe teaches you how to "play the student card" to turn your student status 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, non-profits, government agencies, social enterprises, and institutions across the country and around the world.  
    
  Thousands of students have reported that the Career Launch Method™ increased their self- 
  confidence and helped them become more courageous, not only in their job search, but in all areas of life. 
    
  The book includes the Career Launch Readiness Assessment™ which helps students evaluate their competency in five key areas: career exploration, personal brand, networking, job searching, and personal growth.  This book will become a go-to resource for students looking to find internships and jobs, as well as a needed resource for colleges looking to increase retention rates and student's ROI.
