Your job search business card
Posted by Ric Ward on March 19, 2007
Looking for work, conducting a job search, is in fact a business in its own right. You are selling your services and looking for interviews.
Every business person and sales person has a business card. And when you are engaged in a job search you need to have a Job Search Business Card to hand out to everyone you meet so they know what you are selling. It is a micro resume.
Your Job Search Business Card should have the following information:
- Your name
- Your degrees and any certifications
- Keywords about your IT experience
- Your email address
- Your telephone number - it needs to have voice mail
- A link to your web based resume and profile
This is an especially useful tool to hand-out to all of your family and friends. Afterall you cannot really expect them to remember what your information technology skillset is. And give 5 or 10 copies. Ask them to hand them out to their friends. Build your network of people who know about you. If you are not sure about how to network for success then this ebook - The Last Guide To Networking You’ll Ever Need - may be for you.
