The Rules of Networking
Rob Yeung

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know: how to use networking to get ahead in your career and work.

Networking – probably the single most essential skill required of all bright professionals hoping to progress in their chosen career path. Yet no one ever teaches it to you. In this book, help is finally at hand. Unlike traditional, long-winded management tomes, this book is a snappy, step-by-step alternative which is designed to steer you safely through the unpredictable battlefield of modern working life.

Rob Yeung quietens the concerns of readers, who may be thinking “But I don’t know anybody important,” and expertly explains exactly how to network your way to the top. This easy-to-follow guide is packed with hints and tips: advice on how to become the center of attention, how to ensure your fellow networkers pocket, rather than bin your business card, and how to build relationships in which people will be falling over themselves to help you achieve your goals.

Would you like to get promoted? Do you want to earn more money? Did you answer yes to these questions but don’t quite know how to do it? With perseverance and dedication Yeung can show you exactly how to reach your dream goals.
