“Rob is out to change the game of internships. Leading with a genuine interest in the success of others, his work and his writing is a refreshing guide to creating and experiencing successful internships. His concepts are tailored to the individual and are principally focused on self-discovery, social and emotional consciousness, and navigating good business and relationships. Readers are left empowered, enriched, and more knowledgeable of what it means to design and partake in an internship, and more importantly how to seize the benefit of the opportunity. There is simply nothing else out there like it.”

Rob Khoury's Internship guide is an indispensable resource for college students who are trying to figure out their careers objectives and goals. ”

Virtually all the guidelines for success in Intern Management would be equally applicable to new hires: empathy, clarity of role, and regular non-judgmental feedback are all fundamental to employee management at every level. My sincere hope is that these lessons will be taken to heart and extended beyond the internship sphere.

Rob has selflessly mentored and advised countless many undergrad and grad / MBA students, so it only makes sense that he put those decades of experience and mentorship into a book that he can share with all of humanity.

As an MBA myself, I think every business school in the US and abroad would need to have How to Intern Successfully in their library for their students.
