Having, with you, at all times a dozen of small size mini-resume gives you the possibility to distribute them when any opportunity presents itself, especially unexpectedly.
In the “card” format, your mini-resume includes, in a condensed form, your contact information and a summary of the proposed function as well as skills. Depending on your profile, other strengths may be more effective: explanation of your professional project, last diplomas, meaningful experiences, availability and so forth …
In order, for the person you speak to, to remember you perfectly, put a photo ID on the mini-resume. In this case, it must be new, and with a look suited to the situation.
