The Savvy Gal’s Guide to Online Networking (or What Would Jane Austen Do?)
By Diane K. Danielson with Lindsey Pollak (Booklocker, October 2007)
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in search of a fabulous career must be in want of networking opportunities. Or so Jane Austen would say if she were writing–or, more likely, blogging–today.
So begins The Savvy Gal’s Guide to Online Networking (Or What Would Jane Austen Do?), the must-read guide to networking in the 21st Century. Authors and networking experts Diane K. Danielson and Lindsey Pollak share the nuts, bolts and savvy secrets that businesswomen need in order to use technology to build professional relationships.
With advice gathered from CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, techies, and, of course, Ms. Jane Austen, The Savvy Gal’s Guide to Online Networking will teach you, guide you, inspire you and hopefully make you laugh on occasion. After all, if networking isn’t fun, then your “net” isn’t working.
