Brilliant Intern

How to get the best internships and make them count

Brilliant Intern is the essential guide on how to get the best internships and make them count. We realised a while ago there was very little advice out there for students and graduates who wanted to do an internship but didn’t really know where to start. Let’s face it – it can be a confusing area. So our Marketing and Communications Manager, Andrew, sat down and wrote down all the things we’ve learnt about doing internships from working with thousands of interns and hundreds of companies.

The result is Brilliant Intern. It is the only careers book dedicated to internships and, though we say so ourselves, we think it’s pretty good. It is divided into three sections: how to find the right internship; what to do while you’re there; and what to do at the end of it. Each part is bursting with practical advice and tips that will help you secure the best internship possible and, hopefully, set you on the path to your first job.

Brilliant Intern is available in all good book stores and online.
