review 1: Moderately helpful. Has some great recommendations about what to wear, how to format emails, and ways to milk connections. The rest of the book is kind of common sense about, "Don't make your facebook picture a drunken bikini shot with your boyfriend" and "Don't be late to an interview." If you're a smart person seeking an internship, you already know half the stuff in her book, or you at least do it because that's what you think could be best. Still useful and had a couple good recommendations.
review 2: I have been following this person for a while. She reminds me a lot of myself when I was in school, not really caring about school, just wanting to get to the real world faster. And the way to do it is through internships. She has turned that passion into ... morea career and I have to say, good on her. It was a really good how-to book for today's college kids. Not really sure about tomorrow, but today, yes. I read this book when I was applying for jobs (as well as being in the real world for 10+ years) and I still found some of the things true and even learned some stuff, especially about social networking. That is going to be the next trend, is getting jobs through social media. My favorite part, of course, was the idiot things that kids do. Always makes me feel better! And I liked that she talked about herself a lot in it and it brought the stories home. The one question I had when I finished the book is how she could do so many internships. I don't know about your school, but my school put a max of how many internships credits you could take. Of course, there are ways around it (the paid ones don't need credit) but it seemed like she did all the fun ones and I know for a fact that those don't pay, so how did she get around the legals ways of doing it? That is the huge question I had at the end. I wish she talked more about the legalities of it because otherwise, this book could have also been a how-to get your first job out of school. A decent read for today's kids. less
