Or are you at the beginning of your professional journey, with no idea how to meet the people who can help you get ahead?
In “Network” Is Not a Verb, Ellen Poole explains that not only is “networking” not the answer to these dilemmas, its value in our culture is a complete myth when it comes to forging meaningful bonds.

Extrovert or introvert, account manager or accountant—Poole’s guidance will work for you whatever your personality or profession.
