Klappentext
A practical, start-to-finish guide to securing an internship in the private sector and making the most of the transition from student to professional.
Every year, college students across the country seek internships to build experience in their chosen fields. In this highly competitive job market, students and recent graduates need to seek out every possible opportunity to differentiate themselves and demonstrate that they are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work. One important way to do so is an internship in the private sector, which can lead to a full-time job with a well-regarded organization. Yet the process of finding an internship can appear challenging. This book can make it easier.
For more than a decade, finance professional Charles Fishkin has been preparing students to thrive in internship programs. In this book, he shares his advice for those who are seeking a private-sector internship. With insights relevant to a variety of fields--from finance to the tech sector--he covers the process from start to finish, beginning with exploring the range of internship opportunities available. Several chapters offer advice on best practices for crafting effective resumes, networking, and interviewing to get the position. Fishkin offers checklists, action items, real-life scenarios, and practical suggestions, each arising from the experiences of former interns and hiring managers. The heart of the book focuses on the nine to twelve weeks of the internship itself, with tips on how to interact with supervisors and colleagues, how to learn and apply new skills, and how to solve problems and address challenges that arise.
Internships in the Private Sector is the first full-length guide to securing and making the most of an internship. This book will help level the playing field, providing students with the tools and support they need to perform to the fullest extent of their abilities and lay the foundation for a strong start to their careers.
