Is Networking NOT Working For You? - 9 Mistakes Networkers Make and 26Tips for Networking Success

In this link, Craig Harrison writes : 'If you can't convey your qualifications, passion and employability in 30 seconds you may not get 30 minutes in an interview. Use vocal variety, intonation and enthusiasm to speak confidently about yourself, others.'
