I would say that this book is really worth its book cover price and then some. Mr. Lowstuter and Mr. Robertson have both done a wonderful job protraying the intricacies of social networking, not only for a job, but for basic communications and achieve higher goals. You see the main topics of who to speak to, who to contact, following proper protocols, etc. Yet there is a subtle push to really excel at this form of human communication. There is a buildup of internal force that exudes positive energies when you make your contacts. Although there is a business format that is followed, you can actually apply the principles in other methodologies. If you need a push in your professional career's contact methods- this book is one of the best!

While "Network your Way to Your Next Job" has been around a while, the principals are just as valuable and even easier to execute today. When this was written, none of the social media existed. You had to network via pen, paper and telephone. The principals Lowstuter lays out in "Network" are timeless. I've also found them to apply not just to finding a job, but to finding new business for our small pottery (my next job after getting downsized out of a corporate marketing position) and keeping customers that we do have.
