She brings up good questions to think about when you're about to meet up with somebody for networking. The book was well organized. I'd be interested in seeing an updated version of this book - although it is published in 2009 the book is surprisingly not too outdated.

Wendell definitely has an abrasive tone so buckle up. She has practical, simplified advice. Nothing here about making fancy cute business cards or rewriting your resume a gazillion times. She cosigns using a resume template and then moving onto actual networking. The dating analogy she uses for job hunting was entertaining. I'm also just a bit skeptical of any career author who made a career out of career advice instead of in a different field.
