Networking
Be Ready for Any Introduction
Most chances to share your resume aren't planned. Keep it one tap away.
Pick your resume from your phone
PDF works best.
Free. No account. PDF works best.
To share your resume while networking, keep a QR code for it on your phone. When a conversation gets to "send me your resume", let them scan it right there instead.
Where this comes up
- A coffee chat that turns into a real opening.
- An alumni event where someone offers an introduction.
- A conference hallway between sessions.
- A club meeting where a guest speaker asks what you're looking for.
- A conversation at a wedding, a gym, or a flight.
How to offer it without being awkward
- Wait until they ask what you do or what you're looking for.
- Say it plainly: "I can send my resume now if that's easier."
- Hold up the code, or text the link if they'd rather have it in writing.
- Follow up the next day with one short message.
