WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

"I wish that this book had existed when I was applying for positions back in college. I was a economics major with almost no real job experience, and it must have shown in my interviews. I got lucky because UBS was willing to take a chance on me as a summer intern, which led me to get where I am now. If I could do it again, though, I would take the much easier route and read this book. It would have prepared me for the parts of the job I never imagined."

"Applying for my summer internship was a rough experience- I was afraid that I would never get the chance to show my skill in investment research to big companies because I would be rejected before I ever made it to the internship stage. Fortunately for me, this book helped me prepare and build my interview skills to the point where I felt that I had not just a fair shot at the job but an unfair advantage over the other candidates. It's a must read."
