Scoring a Great Internship (Students Helping Students)

Customer Reviews

Scoring a Great Internship gets straight to the point, and is helpfully indexed so that finding the information you need is quick and easy. It is a complete guide to the complete process, from finding the internship to keeping in touch with the company after you've finished.

There is not only advice and tips from fellow students, but examples too--especially helpful for resumes. I really appreciated not having to consult another guide for advice on resumes and cover letters; it was all right there, down to a list of useful verbs to make my resume more dynamic. This inclusiveness also applies to interviews, to which a whole section is devoted.

And even after you've scored that internship, this book continues being useful, guiding you through the trickier areas of being an intern: resentful colleagues; being given all the office photocopying; and asking the boss right questions, at the right time.

Finally, the guide is well-written and witty. The author includes personal experiences, often stories of things gone wrong or unexpectedly right; she does not allow them to take over the guide, rather they reminded me that this advice came from someone real, someone who has both made mistakes and had a lot of success. And because it's written by someone who is still a student, the advice is never condescending, superfluous, or out-of-date.

Highly recommended--and it really works!
