Tam is clearly the specialist when it comes to landing internships. After experiencing six internships himself and insights with recruiters, students, and other experts, this is the ultimate blueprint for advancing your career. If you want an internship, this book is a no-brainer
This book was fantastic! My favorite aspect is that it has concepts and tactile steps to take to achieve the concept's goal. It also uses a great deal of real world examples that can relate to more than just internships. As a founder of a startup I can safely say that what Tam has written is applicable to various types of people and the topics can be applied to things beyond an internship. Great read. Great wisdom. Amazing book!
Tam Pham is a superstar in the making, and he's done it yet again with "How To Land Your Dream Internship." Take a quick look at all the amazing companies he's worked with and you'll quickly know he's the real deal.Throughout college I struggled with landing internships, and I'm certain had I read this book back then, my career path would be on an entirely different level.I highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to make a name for themselves both as a college student or recent grad. If you read this book and apply the principles, I can almost guarantee you internship offers will be knocking on your door.-Bud @aboundlessworld
This book definitely covers all bases in finding an internship. It's probably best when read in conjunction with Tam's other book, as he mentions in the networking section, but this work definitely stands on its own. As an incoming college student, I've heard a lot of times that internships are a good thing to have for resume building, experience, enrichment, and job opportunity, but I've never really heard or seen a detailed explanation of how to get one. The people who'd tell me that internships are good to have would just say, "I don't know, just know somebody," when I'd ask them how to get an internship if it's so important.Tam really puts focus and clarity into his explanations of the avenues with which to get your foot in the door, the ways we should approach things and present ourselves to be successful (resume, online presence, interview, cover letter). For me, reading through this felt like I was having my questions answered before I even knew exactly what to ask. Tam manages to be concise but also puts a strong personal touch into the book, with anecdotes from his own life and advice from people he's spoken with. The conversational writing style also makes this book a very easy read.Ultimately, this book was very informative, about a lot of stuff I didn't even know where to begin with! I think it really is important for college students and young people to read this, because it's a great place to get information on internships and networking, especially for those who have no idea where to start.
Similar to Tam's first book "How to Network", "How To Land Your Dream Internship", is an extremely insightful and entertaining read highlighting the simple truths of growing up and finding your place in the competitive world. Young people are constantly bombarded with advice on what the right thing to do is, and what decisions to make in order to be on the path to success. Turns out, everyone is different, and people drown out their own strengths just so they can look appealing to certain recruiters. Screw that, you are unique in many ways, showcase it! I love how my man Tam acknowledges this notion, and how he also reiterates that there really isn’t one way of doing things when looking for employment or experience. Use the book as a guide in which you refer back to, especially if you are like me and thrive on jumping from internship to internship. The biggest takeaway for me is that the real world is all about relationships and how you convey yourself. If you are honest and genuine in your pursuits, you will be surprised where you can take yourself. Read the book, keep the book, use the book. You shall succeed.
This is a great read for any college student. No filler. No BS. Just an extremely actionable guide you can use the day you pick it up. If you're in the market for real-world experience, definitely give this a read.
Tam didn't leave a stone unturned when it comes to the internship process. I loved the key takeaways and action steps at the end of each chapter, because that breaks down the essentials and inspires readers to put this guide into practice—which is the point. As an author and blogger who regularly gets emails about the job search from young adults, I'll definitely be recommending this resource. It's a clear winner!
I have always been interested on how to get an internship and especially trying to land the RIGHT ONE. I never had the confidence or the knowledge to go out and land my dream internship as I have created a lot of barriers for myself. My barriers consists of lack of motivation, lack of knowledge, and basically no one to tell me their experience. Tam is able to give us his experiences and viewpoints which made it comfortable as a reader to have someone who come from the same background and understanding as us. It is hard to listen to a peer who is much older than us and have gone past the age of being able to share relatable experiences with us youngsters. His cover is very eye-catching and brings a lot of joy to wanting to land a dream internship. This book has such a nice physical appearance AND a lot of gold nuggets to obtain from. Definitely worth a read and I am looking forward to purchasing the physical copy soon! Great job Tam!
