What Can You Do with a Major in Business: Real people. Real jobs. Real rewards.

I'm giving this book 4* not because of my experience with it, but because of the potential I see that it holds to be a concise, quick read for those who are just starting out. If a young person is looking at a broad swath of careers, this would be a great book that they could pick up and spend an hour or two reading and clarify if and how they could get into business.
For anyone past 2nd year of college though, this would not be useful

This book is well organized and will give you all the helpful tips you'll need to have an edge over everyone else that's looking for an internship. It speaks to high school students and college students specifically, but it can benefit anyone that's searching for a job. The book offers a lot of sound practical advice and really illustrates how you can best present yourself to future employers.
I used this book when I was looking for an internship in Washington D.C., so I can speak from experience that the advice from this book really does work. After I sent out all my application materials, I literally landed a highly competitive internship within 48 HOURS! Thanks to the advice in Learn to CEO Style, I'll be interning at the Council of Hemispheric Affairs (COHA) this spring. FYI, COHA's internships usually have 10 applicants for every vacancy.
What really sets this book apart from other internship books is that it's written from a student's perspective. Not only does Antoine Moss have an array of high profile internships (NASA, FBI) to draw his experience from, but he shows that you don't necessarily need to be on the honor roll to land a prestigious internship (although it certainly does help). There's definitely an art behind searching for an internship and this book will give you all the tips that you need to do it successfully.

Learn to Intern CEO Style shows you how to develop and shape your CEO skills and attitude through internships, written by a student currently completing his eighth world-class internship. Antoine Moss developed the "Creator of Excellent Opportunities" (CEO) internship style framework from his fascinating, once-in-a-life time experiences. He has interned on Capitol Hill, with the FBI, and NASA. Moss co-interned with celebrities and played an integral role in solving a federal law enforcement case.
