What People Are Saying
“Your book is fabulous — my daughter loved the happy hour scenario — she would be the one at the bar. I just bought another copy for my future step-daughter.”
– Joyce M
“As a full-time MBA student about to start her internship this summer, Marti’s advice was timely and actionable. I especially take to heart her tips about how to leverage the internship into a full-time role.”

“This book is the equalizer. It levels the playing field for those without the insider’s advantage.”
– Alison Overseth, CEO, Partnership for Afterschool Education
“Marti is awesome! She helped me get into the professional world. I would have been a lot more confused without her.”
– Charlie Bohnsack, rising college senior
“Our son graduated college with dual degrees and a minor in his chosen field. He just didn’t know how to make a job in his field happen. As parents, we recognize that entering the work world today vastly differs from our experience. Finding a job and embarking on a desired career that aligns with your values and strengths is a skill that isn’t taught at college. Marti’s in-the-know expertise, support and effective engagement brought him from a motivated yet unsure college grad to an independent, launched young man thriving in an industry of his choice.”
– Nancy Gany, parent
“Every successful startup CEO I know had an early internship experience that helped set them on the path to leadership. Marti’s book details how to set yourself on that path.”
– Brad Treat, Instructor, Entrepreneurship, SC Johnson College of Business, Cornell University
