WANT TO LAND AN INTERNSHIP AT JP MORGAN? Our internship expert, Erin, has fought for her spot at top bulge bracket banks and boutique firms. She knows how stressful it can be to face case study questions at interviews, and she wants to help you stand out from the thousands of other applicants to earn your position at JP Morgan. Erin guides you step-by-step from interview preparation to conquering the 90-hour work week. You're a business major with dreams of a fast-paced, high-intensity career on Wall Street. You know that internships and work experience are the key to landing jobs after college, and you'll need every possible advantage to outshine other qualified students competing for the same summer internship. However, many other guides substitute fluff for practical advice, and you want to hear the strategies for success from a real intern. Erin's tips will give you an unfair advantage over your toughest competitors as you network at info sessions, nail your interview questions, and rise to the top of your internship class. WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM OUR INSIDER'S GUIDE: * An interview handbook with 200+ advanced interview practice questions and 5 tips to stand out from the competition * A comprehensive style guide for writing the 4 types of cover letters and highlighting your deliverables rather than responsibilities on your resume Insider scoop on what bankers look for in successful intern applicants * A survival guide for banking life: building your own social empire, dressing for success, & conquering fatigue MEET ERIN PARKER Erin is an economics student at Stanford University. She has had three investment banking internships spanning UBS (private wealth management), FT Partners (financial technology coverage), and J.P. Morgan in New York (syndicated and leveraged finance). She is co-president of Blyth Fund, a six-figure student investing group, and is on the board of Stanford Finance. Erin is also the Finance Director of Gumball Capital, a student-run startup whose mission is poverty alleviation. 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." - First Year Analyst At Citigroup "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." - Current Intern At Goldman Sachs

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
