Blog Post: Business Cards are important for job seekers!

When looking for a new professional opportunity, it is proven that networking among peers and key contacts is beneficial. When attending events to network, have a business card to provide the people you are networking with.

On one side of the card you should have your key contact information.

• Name (of course)
• phone number
• address
• email

On the back (one of these suggestions)

• Your own personal mission statement
• the 5 areas that you are the strongest
• the position you are seeking
• a synopsis of your skill set or your history
• special training or certifications you may have 

There are several websites that you can order low cost or free trial cards. One such site is www.VistaPrint.com. Or, visit your local printer. Typically simple business cards are not the most costly item on their list.

Business cards can prove to be a great resource to add to your job seeking arsenal. And it gives you a reason to ask someone for their card when you can offer one of your own.
