Fire me your resume!

Got a call from a client traveling out of the state on business. He had an unexpected encounter with a potential new employer, and needed me to send him his latest resume, which I am always happy to do.

But it reminded me of a simple tip:

Send your latest resume to your mobile device. That way you always have it available to send on to someone else immediately, should the opportunity arise.

Imagine having that chance elevator encounter or coffee with someone that ends with them saying, "Fire me your resume when you get the chance."

Imagine how on top of things you will look when you say, "It's right here on my phone, done."

I know of at least two clients who missed out on opportunities recently because it took them longer to reply with their resume than was expected.

Whether you are unemployed and looking for the right job, or in a job keeping an eye out for your next one, don't let this be you!
