I do not have a question but wanted to take the time to “Thank you” for your advice on contacting the Hiring Manager directly. You are exactly right I have sent over 400 resumes and can count on one hand how many interviews I have had.
Again Thanks,
Tracey
Hi Jim,
I attended your very informative and helpful gathering last Saturday at CVCC.
I should have asked this question at that time, but didn’t think of it.
What do you advise should be printed on an unemployed persons business cards?
Thank you,
Tiffany
Tittany, thanks for the question.
Put on your business those things that will be on it when you land a job, except for an employer’s name. For example, include your name, a job title, your contact information (phone, email address). It’s OK to include city and state, but I’d suggest you leave street address off. Key words that are relavant to your profession are a good idea.
Some simple design elements, like lines, colors, icons, are good, too. If you are in graphics design or related field, apply some of your skill to the design of your card..
I do not suggest putting anything on the back of a business card. In my mind, it is overkill. Besides, who looks at the back of a business card???
I hope you feel my response helps.
Jim
