Complimentary Job Search Business Cards

Staff Writer, The Career News

Are business cards really necessary when in the market for a new job? You better believe they are! There is simply no substitute for getting out there and networking during your job search. Handing out your business card is a great way to keep them remembering you.

As you make your way through the hordes of people at networking events, career fairs and trade shows or have meetings with various executives, HR staff and other career contacts you may have, you must always carry a fresh supply of business cards to hand out when the time is right.

There's nothing worse than making a great contact, searching for a pen and writing your number on a napkin - that they're sure to lose. Personal business cards project an image of professionalism and leave a lasting impression.

Creating Your Business Card Is Easy!

If you think that creating a personal business card is time consuming, expensive and you must have a design background and creative flair, think again. At The Career News, we came across a website called VistaPrint (www.vistaprint.com) that offers complimentary business cards. We thought we'd better find out all the facts before buying in. So, we placed our order.

We were intrigued (though, admittedly skeptical) by the fact that the cards could actually be "no-cost", so we clicked on the -"free"- link on the home page. Immediately, we were taken to a page where we could choose among the various business card templates - from wild and colorful to simple and understated. We picked one that was somewhere in the middle and moved on to the next step.

Next, we were asked to enter in some general information - name, title, company name, contact info, etc. - and then we chose to preview our selection. We were able to make changes where we wanted, as many times as we needed. It was so straightforward and so easy to use. And, we had still not paid a cent.

Once we had finished creating the business card of our choice we were asked to pay just the small shipping and handling fee, and our business cards were on their way! We received them about a week later and were very impressed with the quality of the card and how professional the cards looked all together. VistaPrint's service was everything it promised to be!

Our cards were professional, clean and we were ready to start networking with confidence. Try VistaPrint's business card offer today!
