When it comes to finding a job, I'm no chimp. I have spent alot of time pounding the pavement as a candidate -- and as a marketing recruiter, I have greatly reduced the pavement pounding time of many a job seeker.

Woody Allen was only half right when he said "90% of success is just showing up." A more accurate, Web 2.0 version of that would be "90% of success is making sure that you have peed in the corners of your target market!" And the best way to do that is by making sure that anyone who reaches out to you by email gets automatically pinged with your vCard. After all, it's not spamming if they reached out to you, is it? No!
Still not convinced? As of today, my vCard has been downloaded 7818 times. If just 0.5% of those people become paying clients, that's a lot of money. And if you're a job seeker (or will ever be a job seeker), this is a great way to get your contact information into the sweaty little hands of your colleagues -- starting today.
If you want to see how well this trick works, just send me an email. My response will be instantaneous. Mwahaha.
