What an Idea sirji!
Resume T-Shirts. With the current state of affairs, this does evoke a chuckle.
I am also reminded of an ad, where the job-seeker gives out his resume to every passenger on the flight and then with some copies left starts handing them out to the stewardess.
Am I suggesting that? No, but I am suggesting the general principle.
If you are looking for a job, then you must do the following, if you aren't already:
1. List with all the possible job sites. Its free. I know it is cumbersome, but with most you can simply upload your resume, instead of the filling of the forms. Though I strongly recommend the filling of those fields/forms. You see when the recruiter searched for resumes (I am one so I know) the site throws them up based on the clearly defined fields. So if you can, fill em up!
2. Update your profile every 3 months in the very least. Most job sites throw up latest resumes first in the candidate search.
3. On all your social networks, facebook, orkut, linkedin, or more, please add the following to your name/user id/status "*seeking"
Every time anyone in your network logs in, they will see your silent plea!4. Send out customized mails to consultants. Do not do a mass mailer. Please write an nice introductory letter, preferable with your name.
5. Get listed on company portals. It is a long shot, but with the slowdown, companies maynot want to pay consultants anymore...hence the direct approach.
6. Help someone else get a job. How does this help. Well it gives you a nice excuse to call the HR and chat on behalf of someone else. You just might find something suitable for yourself.
7. Lastly, as in marketing, so in life or job hunting. 'Jo Dikta Hai, Woh bikta hai!' Be seen or be heard of or be heard from!
