Your resume tells the employer all that you have done, your experience, education, and the like. But how often do people think about their business cards? Business cards tell the other person about your personality. They tell them who you are, what you're like, and what you are going to do. Let's take for example this business card:

And after reading the guy's blog, it makes sense for him. But if you're looking to get a job in Corporate America, I wouldn't recommend doing this. For kicks and giggles, here's my business card:
