Your job search business card
Posted by Ric Ward on April 19th, 2009
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.
