How to Accelerate Your Job Search with Networking Cards

What's the single most effective thing you can do to get yourself your dream job? Talk to people and let them know that you are looking! Take along some networking cards (they're like business cards in size and shape, but more like a mini resume in content) to pass out and you'll be that much closer to getting what you want.

Step1
Use your computer and a common program such as MS Word to pick out a business-card sized template that you can use for your networking cards. Most templates will accommodate eight cards. Put all the information in one section/card of the template, then copy and paste the info into the other sections.


Step2
On the front of each card, include your name,contact phone numbers, and e-mail address; latest or most desired job title; and a catchy tag line.


Step3
On the back of each card, include two or three descriptive sentences, or a bulleted list of your experience and accomplishments, or a couple of testimonials from former employers or co-workers.


Step4
Once you've put all the information onto your networking cards, print them. Then, off you go to talk to people!


Step5
Now when you re talking to friends, family members, acquaintances, or teammates, you can tell them that you re looking for work, the sort of work you d like to do, and a bit about your previous experience. Remember to say, Here are three of my cards. Please pass them on to people you know in business people who might need someone like me!
