I will definitely be reading those books. I've had three paid co-ops (internships), as required by my program and have found that things go best when you can differentiate yourself from your peers. Most of my interviews and conversations with recruiters have veered away from the bland academic side of things and into the story and more personal things. This article talks a lot about purpose, and being able to attach a purpose to the bullet points on your resume through a spoken narrative is hugely beneficial.

Good luck to your students on their interviews!
