The Guidebook To Securing High Profile Internships

There are thousands of books out there that talk about how to climb the corporate ladder and

hundreds more that talk about ways to make it to the top. However, there are little to none that

talk about the ins and outs of starting a career such as navigating uncertainty, securing

internships, networking, battling with imposter syndrome, pivoting careers entirely and many

other gems that get lost in exaggerated stories on people far removed from you.

This book is not fiction or click-bait. It is a real story about my life and how I got started off in my

career, while literally starting from scratch with no industry connections. By making a plan,

taking a few leaps of faith, trying something new, and being my authentic self, I was able to go

from stocking shelves at a local grocery store to securing 7 internships in my field both in the US

and abroad doing what I love the most. As CEO of Dalvin Digital Design and a full-time Software

Engineer, I, Dalvin Sejour will go through a step-by-step guide to replicate my early career

success through my riveting, real and informational narrative.

After graduating from high school, it seems like the world has an unrealistic expectation that

you need to have everything figured out by the time you throw your cap in the air at graduation.

Whether you are deciding to go to college, went straight into the workforce, graduated, or have

started work and looking to pivot careers this easy-to-follow guide through my lenses has

something to offer you.

“The Guidebook to Securing High Profile Internships” is an instructive playbook that can help address the growing issue of college graduates being underemployed. Dalvin Josias Sejour shares intimate details of his college journey allowing the reader to learn strategy that can lead to post-college success.

Dalvin tells an incredible, inspiring story that needs to be read, and heard loud and clear. He is a living example of the returns that students will get from an investment of hard work, grit, and perseverance. Too many students take the "spray and pray" approach to secure professional opportunities, whether in the US or abroad (yes global experience is a "must-do"). Dalvin's approach was thoughtful and purposeful and can act as a guide for future students.
