Who Needs Business Cards?

Business cards are an incredibly helpful marketing tool for businesses and individuals alike. Business cards are used by CEOs all the way down the employment ladder to entry level employees. A business card tells people your name, your job title, your phone number, your email address and what company you work for.

Not everyone needs a business card but anyone looking for a job or looking to obtain more and more clients should employ the use of business cards. Even if you are a recent college graduate that has yet to find a job, have a business card created for you. Why? Even though you don’t have a company name or job title to place on the card it is still something that you can bring with you on a job interview besides your cover letter and resume.

Having a business card even though you are without a job shows employers that you are dedicated and geared towards obtaining a job anyway possible. It might seem awkward at first to hand out a business card even though you don’t own a company or don’t work for a company but stick with the marketing idea. It is a great way to market yourself in the workforce.

No one will look at you in a weird way but will look at you and say “this person is really putting him or herself out there by making their own business card.”

So you don’t have a job or job title to place on the card; what should go on there?

Put your name, phone number, email address, and your personal website (if you have one with your resume posted) on the card. By producing a personal business card for your job search, you are telling employers that you will go above and beyond the required resume to obtain a job.
