very helpful outline!

This book was extremely helpful for two reasons (1) it was short and to the point; (2) I left with a great outline of how to conduct networking meetings moving forward. I really appreciate the advice from experienced professionals and the examples!

Worth every penny!

This book is the GOLD standard for networking tips and a concise strategy. When I started networking I had more questions than answers on how to do it, how to be effective, and how to keep it under an hour. With the strategies and step by step plan in this book, you will become a networking ninja who learns the secret to all networking meetings: how can I help others more than myself?. Buy this book, it's worth every penny!

Solid Advise, Quick Read

It's all too easy to go into a networking situation thinking you can just wing it, just be yourself. If you are not purposefully and prepared, you will get out of it what you put into it. This is a simple and easy read that will have you smacking your head and saying, "now why haven't I been doing this?". Obvious advice some might say, yet most of us don't practice it.

I recommend this book in job search and beyond!

This book was recommended to me 4 years ago by one of my executive candidates in transition. He swore by it working for him in his search and I've since recommended it to 100's of job seekers. I've been in recruiting for over 10 years and this is one of the best books out there in the how's and more importantly why's to networking in job search and beyond as well! When someone is excellent at networking, there's no limit to their potential!

This book provides straightforward, easy to apply actions that enable success throughout a career and is especially applicable when searching for your next role or consulting contract. And, as your career expands, having a network and building your network will become even more important. This book has been invaluable to me!

One step closer to job!

This insights in this book are invaluable! I was going about my job search incorrectly, where I was spending the majority of my time applying to jobs online, rather than spending it networking with people who are able to open doors for me. Thanks to the lessons in this book, I am able to go into networking meetings with structure, purpose, and clarity, ensuring that everyone's time is used valuably and efficiently. I appreciate the real-world examples used throughout the book and hope to have my own success story to share in the near-future as well!

Not really applicable if you are looking for a job in IT

It is always good to network. However, the networking techniques described in this book is more suitable for someone looking for a job where more soft skills are needed. IT world is driven by what tech stack you have and what an employer is looking for. These days, it tends to be very specific. If you don't happen to possess a high demand tech stack, networking probably will not be the most effective way to find a job.

An essential tool for anyone wishing to build their network

A client of mine recently recommended this book to me. It was a felicitous recommendation. This small handbook, written by Dr. Marcia Ballinger and Nathan A. Perez should be considered an essential tool for anyone wanting to expand their network. "The 20-Minute Networking Meeting" is geared primarily to those who need to network in order to find their next job, but the principles outlined here can be broadly applied to any networking situation.The major takeaway from the lessons shared by the authors is that all too often, we waste the time of those who have been gracious enough to grant us a networking meeting. The book offers very specific steps to structure a meeting that will be productive and will take only 20 minutes out of the busy life of the person you have asked to meet with. It is no accident that this 20-minute time frame is very close to the optimal length of a TED talk that has evolved over the past decade. With proper planning, discipline, and execution, we can accomplish a great deal in less than half an hour.The co-authors have worked both sides of the job placement business. Dr. Ballinger founded her own executive search practice, and Mr. Perez is a consultant who works with candidates looking to make a move into a new job. Their combined vision and wisdom provides a nice balance in terms of seeing the world of networking through the eyes of the candidate and through the eyes of the persons the candidate is hoping to network with.I have already recommended those book to a number of friends and professional colleagues. It is a welcome addition to the job seeker's tool box. I am pleased to recommend it to you.
