I recently left my company and I realized my number of business contacts was small and I wasn't sure the best approach to take to increase them. I found this book and my number contacts has increased dramatically. The author does a great job of giving step by step directions and suggestions of organizations and types of organizations to join. I also liked his suggestions on the types of introductory letter and who those letters should be addressed to. The best part for me was the list of organizations and web sites to look at. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a job.

Perfect timing. The book arrived the day before my first after-work job networking meeting. The meeting was a tremendous success. The book clearly described keys to being a great networker. Because of this book, I did not discuss the weather or sports at my networking meeting. In a casual atmosphere, I asked people where they worked and what they did for work. I did much listening. As a result, I heard about a Quality Director position at a local manufacturing company, which I am investigating further. Excellent book !!!

I was a vice president and product manager with a stock brokerage firm but, due to corporate restructuring, I'm no longer there. I have been networking to find a new position (I want to make sure that I land in the right spot) and Marc's book has re-enforced what I have been doing and let me know that I am heading in the right direction.

Good networking skills are a combination of common sense strategies, and techniques derived from experience. Kramer's book gives us both. Most importantly, he reminds of the things we know we should do--like not sitting with a friend at a networking dinner--but don't do. Any one of the tips in this book make it worth the time and money to buy and read.

I am currently looking for a new job and I need to use all of my contacts and resources. Using the book "Power Networking", I am able to follow the author's simple tequniques to help build my job-finding network. There is an entire chapter on networking to find the right job which has given me new insight and direction to find a new job. Thankyou!
