Do you have a business card that quickly conveys information about your professional identity and the value you can bring to an employer? There is so much great information you can put on your card to go past “name, rank, and serial number.” Chris Brogan wrote a recent post that included some tips on what to put on a business card to make them more valuable to the recipient. Here are a few additional suggestions for job seekers.
- Build a web resume and add the url to your card.
- Include a link to your LinkedIn, or Ziggs profile.
- Use the back of the card to elaborate on your core competencies or market differentiators.
- Add a professional headshot.
- Link to information on a speaking engagement, or an article or book you have published.
- Create a virtual business card at Plaxo and use as your email signature line.
