Concise, witty and incredibly helpful
Sick of hearing the same re-hashed and condescending advice for college students looking to intern? Then pick up Scoring a Great Internship by Ellen Rubinstein, a refreshing, honest and witty approach to internships.

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 And because it's written by someone who is still a student, the advice is never condescending, superfluous, or out-of-date.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!

Helped me score a summer internship!
Calling all students: all you need to snag a great summer internship is this book and the internet - find all the places you want to apply and then READ THIS BOOK! It will give you great advice from students who've been there, and tell you how to construct a great resume, ace your interview, and then succeed once you're in the door. A quick and great read!

Great internship advice
This internship book really covers all the bases without wasting your time listing every single internship on the planet (which you can do on the web anyway). It breaks down how to network & find what you want, write a great resume, do a perfect phone or in-person interview, and then it even goes into how to make the most of your actual internship experience (an especially good section). The student quotes from those who've been where I want to go were extremely valuable, and my summer internship search is now right on track!! If you're looking for an internship, this book will really help you with some great tips; highly recommended!

Each Tip Put to the Test by Students
from Blue Jean Online ...

by Emily A. Stoddard, Correspondent

In today's job search, it has become apparent that it is not enough to present future employers with a degree. More and more, internships act as the gateway to great careers. Therefore, Scoring a Great Internship, part of the "Students Helping Students" line from Natavi Guides, is a great starting point for any student who has entered or will enter the search for an internship.

Blue Jean's own Ellen Rubinstein is the primary author of Scoring a Great Internship, but the guide also contains a variety of firsthand experiences from students at schools like Cornell, Yale, and Bryn Mawr College. Thanks to the advice of these students and the depth of Rubenstein's experiences, the guide avoids pitfalls such as preaching to its audience. For people like me that may not have someone older and more experienced to look to for internship advice, the guide is a practical, friendly source of information. You can trust that each tip has been put to the test by students like Rubinstein.

Thanks to its simple organization, the guide becomes a tool you may return to whenever a question arises. Each section tackles another aspect of internships, leading you from the search for internships to what to do once you receive an internship. This is definitely something you'll want to leave on your desk for future reference.

I appreciated the straightforward examples Scoring a Great Internship offered. Oftentimes, how-to books elaborate on the importance of cover letters and resumes but fail to provide clear examples of them. This guide acts on its advice by offering samples of actual cover letters and resumes and breaking them down by paragraph or section. Simple enough, right?

Furthermore, this guide offers an extensive list of resources. With tons of web addresses provided, you can do everything from learn more about interning to searching for actual internships. There is no guarantee that you'll score your great internship because of this guide, but this is certainly a surefire way to avoid the mistakes of fellow intern-seeking rookies.

Pretty Comprehensive
It is a rather comprehensive reference on current internships. I even wrote a column for my school's student newspaper on "fun" internships using this book. It'll save you time and money if you'relooking for a suitable internship. I used it extensively last summer eventhough I ended up finding my internship on the internet.

Very extensive, but contact information may be incorrect.
This book offers a great variety of information on internships both in the U.S. and abroad. It also profiles former interns now turned famous. However, I have not been able to make much use of it yet. I tried callingone of the internship contact numbers listed to find out I was phoning aprivate residence; I tried e-mailing another contact and it too wasincorrect. It seems the folks at Princeton Review have not put much effortinto updating their information yearly. So, use it for the information, butbeware that you may have to do research on your own to find actual updatedinformation on the internships. ... Read more

From the author: This study compares student learning in employment-based internships with learning in nonemployment-based internships. Data from foundation and advanced employment-based and nonemployment-based students (N=180) indicate statistically significant gains during the academic year. Pre- and post-evaluative data from field instructors (N=22) also reflect statistical significance. This counters concerns about the value of employment-based internships. There was a trend for employment-based foundation MSW students to perceive themselves initially as more knowledgeable than nonemployment-based students. By the end of the foundation year, this difference disappeared. Recommendations are made for employment-based field practica.

From the supplier: The Externship for Educators program allows the educators to gather first hand insights on where students are sent and determine whether the students are equipped with necessary tools to handle an internship program. Such program exposes the teachers on the kind of environment their students encounter during their on-the-job training activity.
