I loved this book from start to finish. There was so much useful information about how to properly network. I thought that I was pretty good at going to events and meeting new people. What I was not doing was following up with the contacts that I was making. This book gave advice for those looking for a career opportunity as well as advice for those that are happy in there current position. The author also spoke to thinking outside of the box when it comes to career opportunities. I treasure this book and plan to refer back to it often.
I would recommend this book to anyone but especially think that people in the STEM field. You should make time to read it and keep it as a reference.
