by Orville Pierson
# ISBN-10: 1601630506
# ISBN-13: 978-1601630506
 

PROS:

  • A sober, straightforward system for networking for a new job.
  • Builds on Pierson's past work effectively.
  • A refreshing, low-key change to the "supernetworking" books.

CONS:

  • Repeats some previous material.
  • The system presented is very intense, and may take effort to adapt to a lower-key job search.

SUMMARY: A book on career networking with the network you have, and how to do it in an organized manner.  A good purchase if you want to improve your network use or use Pierson's techniques.
