Could you consider writing up what your dream job would look like? What kinds of activities would you do on your ideal day that could be seen as contributing to an organization? Then you could frame:

> "Hi my name is Chris and I would like to work for Company A, especially because Reasons X, Y and Z. Here is my card."

into

> "Hi, I'm Chris and love doing X,Y and Z. I believe I could really bring a lot of value to your company and solving problems A,B, and C. Let's talk sometime, okay?"

This way it is easier to specify what stuff you want to do, what kinds of challenges a company may have and be the hero! At least this would be my suggestion for a strategy.
