Authored by two former U.S. Marines and a world-renowned business consultant, Business Networking for Veterans will teach you everything you need to know to succeed. From start to finish, it focuses on the unique challenges you face as a transitioning veteran[md]and the unique skills and resources you bring to the table.

You are unique. You have something very special to offer. So do many other people. But you have a secret weapon: this book. It will teach you how to network—and that’s the one skill that can give you near-perfect equality of opportunity. 80% of America’s job openings are never advertised. Networking can help you get those jobs. Employers need to see you as you really are. Networking lets you show them. Networking gives you contacts to get you in the door and advice from people who’ve been there.   As great networkers know, this isn’t about sucking up or being a phony. It’s about being your best self, creating lifelong connections, and building communities of people who help each other.   One step at a time, this book will help you overcome your doubts and fears, and gain all these powerful benefits. It’s authored by three people who’ve been there—including Dr. Renee Thompson, past Officer of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women. They’ve done it. You can, too—and it’s the #1 key to your success!    Real answers to the networking questions  black professionals ask   Real solutions to the networking problems  black professionals face    • Why should I spend time networking when I’m already  so busy? • How do I network when I don’t know anyone “important”? • How can I work with the contacts I already have? • Who should I try to meet? • How do I network when I don’t have much  work experience yet? • How do I network with someone I might not like? • What should I talk about? What shouldn’t I talk about? • What’s the best way to follow up? • How do I overcome fears about whether I’m good enough? • Won’t people just judge me based on the color of my skin? • How do I ask for help without compromising  my self-respect? • What can I really get out of social networks like LinkedIn or Facebook? • How do I develop a personal “brand” that works for me?

This book has one simple goal: to help you succeed in your next presentation or speech. You don’t need decades of training to achieve this goal. You don’t need the eloquence of Lincoln or Churchill or Martin Luther King. You just need to learn and practice 10 simple rules…and we mean simple. Michael Lawrence Faulkner helps you apply basic truths about human nature and nonverbal communication to get your audience on your side, and keep them there–from the moment you walk on stage to the moment you leave. You’ll learn how to prepare well, enter with confidence, own your space, and deliver a message that is clear and powerful. Nervous? Of course you are! Everyone is. But Faulkner shows how to make your fears serve you, not immobilize you. Imagining the worst? Everyone does. But, as Faulkner shows you, those disasters just won’t happen. Made a mistake? Everyone will. But you can move right past it, like it never happened. Other public speaking books aim to make you brilliant…and they fail. This book aims to make you very good: better than most speakers. That’s a goal you can achieve–and with Faulkner’s help and a little practice, you will. Practical, simple ways to <ul>
<li> Keep your language simple </li>
<li> Make your fears work for you </li>
<li> Prepare a conversation, not a speech </li>

<li> Ignore your mistakes and keep going </li>
<li> Stop worrying about worst-case scenarios </li>
<li> Finish strong </li>
<li> Know when to ignore the rules </li> </ul>
