Marian Weston, author of At Home Alone, published by Swift Transitions has just read Confident Networking by Gael and Stuart Lindenfield and would really like to recommend it.

CONFIDENT NETWORKING FOR CAREER SUCCESS AND SATISFACTION author: Gael Lindenfield,Stuart Lindenfield asin: 0749926503

I have just heard that there are lots of part-time jobs going at Global Connection - a spousal support organisation based near Gouda, that has a magazine for which I write a column.

They are a super team and currently need a web-master, web editor, trainer, trainee and account managers. All are part-time and they are a pretty flexible lot.

If you are to have a career that works for you and is sustainable despite moving around the world then it is vital that you first find your passion. How can you expect to get up in the morning day after day and be desperate for the day ahead if you don't really like your job?

This book, created after 20 years of working for myself, has 20 tips and 20 tasks as well as more than 20 case studies and tons of examples from my own life. Believe me, it works. What's more it sells to everyone from teens to those past retirement and they all tell me they love it.

So, I guess, I made it work.
