Chock full of real-world scenarios, short stories, meeting examples, and dozens of tips and observations from hiring authorities and recruiting experts, the Professional Edition is an end-to-end lesson on job-search networking, founded on the premises of gratitude, positivity, and reciprocity.

Excellent book! Highly recommend.

A must ready for anyone, at any level, who wants to learn how to be more comfortable, more confident, and ultimately more successful with networking meetings. This book is exactly what I needed for my job search in a new city. It helped me rethink and rework how I was handling networking conversations. The outline (objectives, timelines, examples) for each part of a meeting was incredibly helpful. I am now more focused in my preparation, clearer on what I want out of my meetings, and far more respectful of everyone's time.

Informative, Actionable

The 20 Minute Networking Meeting gives the needed information, examples, and actionable step needed to perform the sometimes daunting task of networking. Because I’m not the sales-guy type, I have avoided networking. This book provides people like me (and anyone in general) an approachable strategy for networking. I am grateful and excited to get started with networking.
