Get Connected with Networking Cards!

Every professional needs business cards to build relationships and develop their personal network. And these personal cards are essential for college students and recent graduates, too!

An Amazing Opportunity

I found out just how important these personal cards can be during my senior year at Duke. I was on a Southwest Airlines flight from San José to Austin, and I just happened to be sitting next to the Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions at Google! Needless to say, I was star-struck! This was an amazing opportunity for anyone looking for a job.

So, I pulled myself together enough to introduce myself, and we ended up having a great chat. When we landed, he said to me “I really enjoyed talking with you and would like to keep in touch – do you have a card?”

Professionals Expect to Receive a Card

I was like a deer caught in headlights! I didn’t know what to say. Of course I didn’t have a card! I was only a senior in college!

So, I wrote down my name and number on one of those square airline napkins and never heard from him again. And I don’t blame him – I wouldn’t have contacted me either!

Networking Cards Make a Statement

That’s when I came up with the idea for my Personal Networking Cards. They’re like business cards, only for college students and recent graduates. It’s the perfect way to present yourself as a professional even though you’re still looking for a job.

You Should Have Them Too!

That’s why you should have my Personal Networking Cards – to ensure you don’t ever find yourself in a situation like mine!

So Get Carded Now!

Meet the Girl

You’re probably wondering – who in the world is this Résumé Girl? So let me introduce myself …

My name is Lauren Hasson and I help college students and recent graduates all over the nation land their dream job or internship!

And I not only absolutely love what I do, but also really enjoy dishing-out advice on all things career and internship search-related!

I’m a self-described read-a-holic (I read all the college career advice books so that you don’t have to!) and I’m an avid writer. In the rest of my spare time, I collect and watch “who-done-it” movies and follow Duke basketball – Go Blue Devils!

So why Duke basketball? Well, I also happen to have graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Duke with a triple major in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Economics.

After I graduated, I became an investment banker with Morgan Stanley and literally didn’t sleep for an entire year! Eventually the nights spent napping in my small cubicle got old so I packed-up my bags and moved back to Texas (I grew-up in Austin) to become the Lead Researcher at one of the world’s largest hedge funds.

But no matter how hard I tried to like my job – I just couldn’t. So in 2006 I said sayonara to my day job and signed-on to help college students and recent graduates pursue their dreams full-time.

And I couldn’t be happier!
