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