    About this audiobook

    Networking for Nerds provides a step-by-step guide to understanding how to access hidden professional opportunities through networking. With an emphasis on practical advice on how and why to network, you will learn how to formulate and execute a strategic networking plan that is dynamic, multidimensional, and leverages social media platforms and other networking channels.

    An invaluable resource for both established and early-career scientists and engineers (as well as networking neophytes!), Networking for Nerds offers concrete insight on crafting professional networks that are mutually beneficial and support the advancement of both your career goals and your scholarly ambitions.

    "Networking" does not mean going to one reception or speaking with a few people at one conference, and never contacting them again. Rather, "networking" involves a spectrum of activities that engages both parties, ensures everyone's value is appropriately communicated, and allows for the exploration of a win-win collaboration of some kind.

    Written by award-winning entrepreneur and strategic career planning expert Alaina G. Levine, Networking for Nerds is an essential resource for anyone working in scientific and engineering fields looking to enhance their professional planning for a truly fulfilling, exciting, and stimulating career.

      When I saw the title and the brief blurb for this book, I couldn't wait to pick it up. Networking advice for a nerd like me? Sign me up! Except, sadly, it's not really for a nerd like me. This book would have been better titled something like "Career Networking Advice for New Academic Scientists & Engineers" because that's really what it is. Though billed as appealing to nerds across the spectrum, it doesn't really have much to offer outside the context of scientific academia. What's there is sound and likely very useful, just not really something that could easily be cross-applied in very many alternate contexts.

      (I should have questioned the "nerd" aspect when I noticed two grammatical errors in the subtitle...)
