Friday, August 08, 2003 ( 4:48 PM ) axmc Track Down Former Employees of Companies Keeping your network alive with new or renewed contacts can lead to valuable business connections. From the Fast Company Blog: A guy on that list just forwarded me the URL for the coolest new networking site: Eliyon's CorporateAlumni. I think it's still in beta, but it's worth looking into if you're interested in tracking alumni of various companies to their new jobs. Right now, it tracks 15 million business people. You type in a company name, and it tells you who works (or once worked) there, with links to information about where they might have gone. You can also search by function. A great way to find old colleagues, or to figure out who, say, the marketing person is at a company where you'd like to work. A boon for job seekers! # Thursday, August 07, 2003 ( 8:32 AM ) axmc Franchising Information FromGHM list [For those in the Chicago area.] FRANNET FRANCHISE ADVISORS: AUGUST SEMINAR SCHEDULE Attend a FREE Franchise Seminar "WILL OWNING A FRANCHISE BUSINESS GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT?"

There are several ways to prepare cards during your search. You can print them up on your own, using an ink jet printer and card stock made for that purpose. Another alternative is free business cards (around $5.00 for shipping) from VistaPrint . I have also used I-Print with good success. Their plain cards have logos that can relate to your profession and type of business. You might consider adding a "mini resume" on the back side of the cards - either attached (like an address sticker) or rubber stamp, that gives the person a quick memory jogger regarding the conversation as they pass along your card to others. Example Sales Executive Automotive Electrical Components * 14 years direct sales experience * 12 years exceeding quota (since 1991) * President's Club Sales Award past 10 years * Built three < $10k accounts into $14M business in six years. # |
