Do people still have Business cards these days? The answer is yes.  Business cards are used for more than just businesses today.  They are a great way to get your name out there without a lot of paper.  It provides a quick snapshot of YOU!
  • Your Name
  • Phone Number
  • Email
  • LinkedIn URL
  • Twitter Handle
  • website - if you have one
  • Tag Line - What about you in a quick sentence.
It's easy to do with computer software and Avery Business Card stock.  Or you can try these online sites:
In the digital age, having a digital resume located on a personal website is becoming more common.  Having LinkedIn be your source of an electronic resume is also popular - reflecting your work experience and endorsements from co-workers. Technology is great - but having that card can give you the presence of being remembered by that person even better.

How many times have you bumped into someone and wanted to exchange information.  What do you do?  Pull out your phone, create a new contact and type in their info.  Then when you go back into your phone later in time, you question - Who is this person.  I'm sure that happens more than you imagine. Having a Business Card or Personal Card is also a great networking tool for Job Fairs, Interviews, Dinner Parties, Networking events of any kind etc.  You name it you can pass it out!

Ever been to a restaurants where you drop your card in the bowl for a chance to win something?? That's right - makes it easy to participate!  Who doesn't love to win things?
