Hey there. So I've been pretty heads down at work as we have been doing lots of hiring for Amazon Web Services, and we continue to hire as the year goes on. And with all the hiring going on and the continuous networking I/we do, I have not given out one business card in the 7 months I have been at Amazon. Why you ask? For starters, I still have not ordered any. I know! Crazy huh. Being that I spend most of my day "behind the scenes" sourcing, researching, "smiling and dialing", talking with hiring managers, etc. I share most of my contact information via email since that is how I connect with a lot of people. Of course you can find me all over the 'net as well since I make myself fully accessible and searchable. But what about meeting people in person when I'm out and about? I used to do like everyone else and either type their contract info into my contacts list on my phone or send them an email from my phone after typing in their email. Then I came into 2010. I loaded the Bump application (from Bump Technologies) on my iPhone and started "bumping" with whoever had the app. Now it's not YET compatible with every phone, at least not that I know of, but I've been sharing it with everyone possible. And believe or not, their are lots of people that still don't have this great little app for sharing contact info, pictures, etc. Below is a nifty little video for you to watch about the Bump. But it's really easy, and free. When we meet, I'll be sure to bump you my business card....because I probably still won't have ordered ones to hand out:-)
