Job Seekers ยท Networking Contact Note

Remember the person, not just the business card.

Who this is for

Anyone who networks at events and wants follow-ups that reference a real conversation, not a generic name on a card.

The moment this saves you

I meet ten interesting people at a conference, collect a stack of cards, and by Monday they're just names with no memory of who said what, so my follow-ups are generic and none of them go anywhere.

See it work

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.

What you said

Met someone good at the meetup, want to remember it. Her name's Elena, she's a VP of engineering at a healthtech startup. We had a great conversation about hiring senior engineers in a tight market, she had a really smart take on take-home assignments being a turnoff. Personal detail, she just got back from hiking in Patagonia, was raving about it, and she mentioned she's looking for a frontend lead, which is interesting because that's basically what I do. Follow up, I should connect on LinkedIn and mention the Patagonia thing and maybe the frontend role. She gave me her email.

The prompt behind this context

system prompt

I'm going to capture someone I just met while networking. Turn it into a contact note: a bold "Contact: [name], [today's date]" heading, then labeled lines: Who (their role/company), We talked about (the substance, keeping any sharp insight they shared), Personal detail (the human hook for a warm follow-up), Opportunity (any mutual interest or opening), Contact (how to reach them), and Follow up (my specific next step). Keep the personal detail and exact insight, that's what makes the follow-up work. Don't invent details. Output only the note.
