Free Business Cards

Last week I attended a student auditing convention and picked up a few job-searching tips. Ah, the eternal question of how to stand out from the crowd while still being completely conventional. Here's one tip: Make your own business card. It really doesn't matter that you don't have a job, title, or anything else to prove your credibility with, but a business card may be just the ticket for you! The presenter's tip was to get a free business card from Vistaprint.com (shipping is not free) and put on it your name, school, major, and contact information. I ordered by 250 free cards a few weeks ago (shipping was around $5). The intended use of these is to hand one to the person interviewing you at the end of the interview. Will it help them remember you? Perhaps. Will it hurt your efforts to get hired? Not bloody likely (unless you have a typo on said business card). Good luck fellow Grad, No Jobs!
