"e;This may be the most important book a college senior ever reads,"e; said Dr. Linda Charles. Experts agree that networking is the most effective job search technique that exists, and is way more effective than responding to ads or mass mailing resumes. But too few tell upperclassmen how to do this. LAUNCH! shows you how, step by step. You'll discover that you do have a personal network and you'll learn exactly how to develop it. You'll receive access to the career development test "e;Who Are You Anyway,"e; a personality and values test that uncovers your unique traits. Twenty characteristics are measured with simple, thorough yes or no questions. It's fast. It's revolutionary, patented and trademarked. Unlike all other career guidance tests, the WAYA profiler doesn't score your mainstream characteristics. Only your unique attitudes or talents, high and low, get attention. The rest simply don't matter. Only this career guidance exam, the WAYA profiler, tells you where you are mainstream. Then it emphasizes those two or three areas where you are exceptional...different from 90% of your classmates. Those are critical. And LAUNCH! then tells you what they mean for your best career path. And how to get there fast.
