About the Author
Drawing from experiences at four Fortune 100 companies, Jengyee Liang shared her story and how she recovered from a bad boss encounter. She landed paid internships during each summer of her undergraduate career at the University of California, Berkeley. Her experiences included internships with the United Parcel Service in Los Angeles, CA in 2002; Merck & Company in West Point, PA in 2003; SBC Communications (now AT&T) in San Ramon, CA in 2004; and in 2005, an entry-level position with Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, OH. For a sampling of her book, please visit wetfeet site and search for Jengyee. (Sorry for this awkward description because hyperlink is not supported in here.) Following her untimely pass-away in 2008, her family has built her a Jengyee for a Better World Fund at CharitySmith (again please visit here with org), A memorial website (please go to sites.google.com/site/4yee325/), and a Jengyee Prize - Leadership for a Better World (please go to sites.google.com/site/4yee325/apply-for-prize-awards/prize, and select a link on landing) at her alma mater – the University of California, Berkeley, among others. All her book sale royalties are donated to the CharitySmith memorial fund mentioned earlier, where qualified people can apply for an award.

A Hiring Manager's View,
By
This review is from: Hello Real World!: A Student'S Approach To Great Internships Co-Ops And Entry Level Positions (Paperback)
I am a hiring manager in a major corporation that actively recruits and hires interns and co-ops. I recommend that aspiring summer interns and those who want year-round co-op positions read Jengyee's book. It will prepare you for finding the internship or co-op position that suits your needs and it will give you insight on what your employer expects from you. Jengyee's experiences (both the positive and not-so-positive) show students that they can and must be proactive in creating the work experience that they will learn from and enjoy. Her book is full of contemporary and accurate information written from the heart of someone who has recently experienced it!

Key to Success,
By Cindy (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hello Real World!: A Student'S Approach To Great Internships Co-Ops And Entry Level Positions (Paperback)
This book changed my attitude towards the recruiting process. I started putting more effort and time into internship hunting and treating it as a "4-unit" class. Tips about interviews, you might say, can be found anywhere. But messages Jengyee is sending can help you see the recruiting process from a different angle. I successfully obtained coop from IBM, and I will be an intern at Microsoft this summer. I strongly recommend this book!

This review is from: Hello Real World!: A Student'S Approach To Great Internships Co-Ops And Entry Level Positions (Paperback)
Got Jengyee's book form my cousin. She told me it would be a "useful" book,especially for me---a junior in college.I found that's true after I read it. Jengyee's book is easy to read which is good for someone like me whose native language is not english. Meanwhile,I learnd so much from her personal experiences and wise advices. The tips offered are applicable to all. I hope I could found this book earlier. The truth is Jengyee's book is shining. if u don't believe, get one asap.
