The Rules of Networking
Intended for a wide audience with varying levels of business acumen, this quick tutorial on making and using interpersonal connections is a valuable tool in the arsenal of the effective worker. From executives to sales staff to recent college graduates, anyone looking to expand their pool of human resources can learn the ins and outs of networking with this primer. Getting things done is increasingly about who one knows; how best to meet and impress those people is not a born talent, as it is often believed, but is instead a learned behavior and a technique to be mastered. The books in this series are designed to be read in only a couple of hours and are perfect educational reading for business trips. Rather than feeling like a mini-MBA course, the lessons are succinct and to the point. Chapters are easily digestible and the advice can be immediately put to the test during a typical business day or at a social event. Tactics discussed in this text include setting objectives for networking, dealing with nerves, making an impact in a short amount of time, and keeping track of and expanding contacts. Filled with rules and suggestions, this manual provides a building block in or stepping stone to a successful career.

Networking can be scary for some people and natural for others. I wanted some advice on the subject so I read this book. It’s full of good solid advice. Beware that it is written pre-social media so remember that much has changed on this subject. However, I wouldn’t say the fundamentals have changed - and that’s what this book does well - fundamentals. One thing I’ll point out is that it’s a British book, which might not seem like a big deal, but it did seem strangely obvious to me (probably because I can be a bit of an obnoxious American at times). Anyways, it’s a good quick book and I give it 4 stars out of 5 simply because it lacks the life changing factor that I normally associate with 5 star books.
