Nick says:

"Your job hunting card should contain the following information.

1. Your name
2. Contact details including email address
3. Include address details of your online profiles, Linkedin profile, website, blog.
4. Job /Career objective
5. Key deliverable values / skills
6. Key contributions
7. You can also put any remarkable endorsements you have received.
8. If you have graduated or are graduating soon, then you can put class details as well – Like Harvard MBA Class of 2008
9. Your professional qualification/s, you can add a logo of the professional qualification you have earned.'

This the reverse of the Job Hunting Card:

200 Best & Worst Jobs

, ,

We're in the middle of one of the worst recessions in a hundred years. Perhaps, as they say, you can't be choosers in these times, but it is good to know what you're letting yourself in for, anyway.

Here are a few insights into the best and the worst jobs, compiled by Les Krantz, author of "Jobs Rated Almanac," and are based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau, as well as studies from trade associations and Mr. Krantz's own expertise.

In the study, mathematicians fared best - they usually get to work in favorable conditions -- indoors and in places free of toxic fumes or noise -- unlike those toward the bottom of the list like sewage-plant operator, painter and bricklayer. They also aren't expected to do any heavy lifting, crawling or crouching -- attributes associated with occupations such as firefighter, auto mechanic and plumber.



The study also considers pay, which was determined by measuring each job's median income and growth potential.
