Despite technology creeping in on every side, a printed business card has not yet been put aside. One, because it is very handy. And two, because it is simple, yet professional. In the U.S., 88% of business cards that are exchanged are thrown out within a week. Dont be discouraged. With a little bit of vision and creativity, you can create a unique business card that not only stays out of the trash, but also stands out from the stack. After you pick a design above, here are some tips to help you  finalize your decision: 1. Make it pop with color. While traditional white business cards with black text are simple, clean and timeless, consider adding a pop of color to your cards to stand out and showcase your brand personality. Color grabs our attention. It changes our perception. It even affects our mood. 2. Make sure it is easy to read. The first three rules of business cards fonts: 1) Make sure its easy to read 2) Make sure its easy to read and 3) Make sure its easy to read. 3. Mix up the fonts. Feel free to mix in a second font for added visual appeal. For example, if you use a big, bold script font for your name, opt for a cleaner typeface for your contact information. However, limit it to just two fonts, as more than that can add too much visual “noise.” 4. Make use of space. 2-sided business cards give you extra space for listing hours and appointment reminders or the perfect spot for your logo and tagline. 5. Tout your title. When it comes to crafting your business card title, dont be shy about sharing and always use your best judgment.  If you have multiple job titles, include the highest ranking or most important job first on your card.  Consider using a little creative license with your title. While it may not be appropriate for every industry or profession, a little humor can go a long way in highlighting the tone and tenor of your brand. 6. Card quality. Never settle for less. The quality of your business card will be seen as  the same quality of service you provide as a business owner or as an employee. 7. No  information overload. Do not put in too much information in one tiny space. Even when you have the perfect colors and designs for your card, if it looks like you tried to squeeze in your life story into it, no ones going to read it. Do you have more tips on how to use a business card properly and effectively? Wed love to hear them. This post is a collaboration with Staples.

What is the Monetary Value of Job Interviews

What is the Monetary Value of Job Interviews Photo Credit â€" Pexels.comI learned recently that during an average round of golf at the professional level, the actual amount of time the golf ball is in contact with the club face is less than 2 seconds per round Let’s do some math: Assume you work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year Okay, if you find yourself thinking about these numbers, the analogy, and they ways you could shoot holes in the analysis, you would be right! The numbers and the analogy are not perfect. If you thought hard enough, you could shoot as many holes in it as a block of Swiss cheese.But, you would be missing the point! The point of the illustration is to impress upon you that interviews are critically important to your career enjoyment and financial well-being. Approaching interviews with a cavalier attitude or “flying-by-the-seat-of-your-pants” is professionally foolish. There’s simply too much at stake.Therefore, when preparing for an interview, follow these simple guidelines:1. Research the comp anyLearn as much as you can. Get on the company’s website and LinkedIn. Check out Glassdoor.com.2. Research the positionevalRead the job description, if there is one. Call colleagues that may have useful information, especially if a colleague works for the employer you are interviewing with.3. Research the hiring executiveA stellar interview performance is worth a lot of money and it means a lot to your career, your family, and you.
