Hacking the Internship Process is the perfect guide to get you on the path to obtaining the internship you have always wanted and prepare for a successful career in the field of your dreams.
We will walk through how to land your ideal internship. Some of the topics covered are: finding the right internship for you, determining your goals, building a reliable network, connecting with employers, preparing for interviews, interviewing, following-up and closing, all while providing useful tips, hacks, templates, and real-life examples.
This is a thorough process. I will provide you a methodology and structure to land an internship but you can spend as much or as little time prepare as you like.
The book is the combination of ideas from two different perspectives, an Employer and a Student. The employer's perspective is covered by Bill Hobbs who has interviewed hundreds of people, Managed large P&L’s, Founded two companies, and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in products and services across industries. The student’s perspective is covered by Zach Schleien, blogger and recent graduate of Syracuse University's Masters of Science program in Information Management. Zach has recently navigated the internship process, hacked it, and helped his friends do the same. After a promising internship at a New York tech company, Zach used his techniques to land a full time job with a Fortune 500 CPG company.
