Media Reviews
Think that networking could help your career but put off by the thought of doing it? The Reluctant Networker shows you ways that you'll find easier than you might think... Mike Cutt, Non-Executive Director, Coach and former HR Director of Thomas Cook, Boots and B&Q In today's world networking is essential not just to find your next role but to ensure you make a success of your current role. By taking the perspective of 'The Reluctant Networker' the book is essential reading for the many people who have realised the importance of networking but find that it does not come naturally to them. Ian Cheshire, Group Chief Executive, Kingfisher plc (owner of B&Q) Most of my outplacement candidates find the idea of networking deeply depressing but this book makes it seem almost infectiously exciting! I think they will find it enjoyable and hugely helpful. Jonathan Mardall, Jonathan Mardall Consulting (Outplacement Services)
