Lori Davila, Atlanta's Career Coach and Author of How to Choose the Right Person for the Right Job Every Time.

What a great book! Many times when people are taught to network, it is a flat, predatory approach. Networking is more than the clerical task of assembling names and numbers in categories. This author shows the reader that networking is a relationship activity. It is ongoing and occurs at surprising times and in lots of venues. The book is interesting enough to read front to back, but indexed and divided to serve as a reference book, as well. This book is one-stop shopping� for networking information.
