Customer Reviews

Another brilliant book in the 'brilliant' series.
Excellent book in this solid series. Covers all the networking basics plus extras you wouldn't think of. Very handy in job hunting/career development. In terms of careers books I'd rate it as one of the best along with "What Colour is Your Parachute?" "Brilliant CV" "Brilliant Interview" and "How to Handle Your Recruitment Consultant".

Natural connection
Steven D'Souza has brought natural simplicity to an important topic, affecting all aspects of life. This is both a thoughtful and light hearted read - very useful whatever your current approach to networking.

Straightforward networking advice for all levels of experience
I was delighted to be asked to contribute to this book. As manager of a local network, and an experienced connector who believes in netWORKING, I thought I knew a lot about how to network effectively both in person and online.

However, after reading the book in full I realised that there was a lot more I could learn, and Steven's book gives you practical, straightforward and to-the-point networking advice. Put simply, Brilliant Networking tells you everything you need to know to network both for personal gain, and the success of your business.

Network without reading this book at your peril.
