Networking is an important facet of finding what you want in your career and your life. Liz Lynch does an excellent job of compiling useful information to network effectively and efficiently. A lot of the book pertains better to someone who is looking to start their own business, or who already has their own business and wants to expand. As someone who was searching for personal networking advice, to be able to secure a career or find opportunity, I found that there were useful items in the book - they just had to be gleaned from what was written.

I have been using some of Liz's tips and techniques and have found them to be quite fulfilling, albeit not in the way I had initially thought they would. I would recommend this to anyone who's a bit "shy" when it comes to networking, it's really not as bad as it's made out to be. With the proliferation of online networking sites, like LinkedIn, there are a lot of good, useful tips brought forth that can be easily integrated into your new networking life.

The concept of networking is no longer a good idea...it's a necessity and Liz understands it from a variety of perspectives.

This book delves into networking issues in a way that promotes tact and class. It explores simple do's and dont's, and also goes into the many vehicles for expanding one's visibility.

Comprehensive coverage of the many topics of networking, from the personal approach to the technology approach. Helped me to understand the value of the web and bologs.

A ton of info and handy examples. Good reference for those of us who don't take naturally to networking.
