How to Find a Job Using a Business Card - part one

Job search handbills have become a popular job search tool to employers they just seem to be act as glorified advertising fliers. Job handbills may be a good networking tool for entry-level labor careers. However, for other more the professional and higher paying “white collar” positions this type of networking technique may reflect negatively on your level of professionalism. 

As a former recruiter, I am ambivalent about this job search technique so I recommend that anyone who decides to use this technique do it as professionally as possible by putting the job search handbill information on the back of a personal business card! Personal business cards look and feel like standard business cards but contain career information instead of company information. Actual handbill  fliers may work if you are seeking a paper route but for someone looking to make a living wage a personal business card will present a more adult and professional image.  So when selecting a business card for interviewing make sure to have your job search handbill information printed on its back.
