Calling cards "don't leave home without one"
Caught without a calling card left them at home and this is what happened.
On the weekend I met a person exchanging a quarter for a shopping cart at the local grocery store parking lot, gave one big smile and started chatting, talked about how I was looking for work, this lead to the fact that they needed someone to set up Quick Books, for a small business owner! Gave my contact information, got a call today from this lead. I received a temporary job; this is so exciting knowing that this can lead to more doors opening for me. The conversation on the phone has given me an in to the local art group as will "more contacts". It’s a start and it helps build up the confident needed when talking to the next stranger about what kind of work I’m looking for.
One thing that I learned was to put calling cards in my purse, car, and pocket of my coat so I won’t be caught without one again, I felt very unprofessional giving my information to this person on a slip of paper so remember not to leave home without one.
Happy Job Hunting:)
