It has been said that millennials believe that hard work is the key to success, they believe this more so than previous generations. But according to this book, this belief in hard work being the key might let millennials down. This book shows the true importance of networking, what it takes to network, with whom to network, and how to translate these contacts into a job. It goes from what questions to ask, to rapport building, to keeping in touch, and how to ask for favors in the appropriate way. This book is an amazing resource addressing the most valuable resource that many college students and recent grads forget that they have, and how to tap into this resources appropriately. In reading this book, you will gain a complete understanding of networking and its importance to you in not only your career search, but in your future as a whole.
