I picked this book up for work-related research and had mixed feelings on it. It is meant as a book of advice to college students on how to conduct themselves professionally in an internship setting. Most of the ideas here are on target, but I didn't find them particularly original. I think most young people could find similar information from other sources, including ones on their own campus.
Another thought that occurred to me while reading this was that if the target audience was young people, I wasn't sure if a book was the best format for content delivery. It struck me that a blog or series of videos might be a better way to get these messages across to the heavily wired millennial generation.
On the other hand, perhaps this book would work if used as a quick reference guide. I read it straight through from cover to cover, which was probably not what was intended.
* shrug *
