Students, you need to get your business card on
College is a place full of opportunities to meet new people, have interesting conversations and discover new passions. The contacts you make may not seem applicable to the professional world waiting outside college, but you don’t know who you will meet that may become your future mentor, your best friend, or your future employer.
I’m a student. Why do I need business cards?
Student life does not ordinarily revolve around business cards. But it is important to start building your personal brand already during your university years. Doing so will get you ahead of the majority of your classmates and will serve you well when the time comes to start applying for that first job.
Having business cards on hand will help when…
- you randomly meet an employee of a company you’d like to work or intern for
- you want to stand out at a job’ fair
- someone asks for your contact information
- you want to seem professional
- you receive someone’s card and they ask for yours
- you’re talking to someone who has your dream job and you want to be able to follow up and get some more tips on how to get where they are
What should I put on my card?
As a student, your cards will not be company-branded. This gives you the freedom to include what you think is appropriate, such as:
- your full name
- the name of your university, your major and expected year of graduation
- your contact address
- email address, telephone number
- blog url or links to social media profiles (such as LinkedIn or facebook)
- your skills or most impressive experience
- the industry you’d like to enter or a short byline describing what sort of opportunities you’re looking for
How can I get my cards?
The easiest way to get your cards printed is to do it online. We offers basic design or you can do your own design to showcase your personality if you are good with Photoshop. For even more impact, consider using the back of your card to showcase your portrait, photos that you have taken, your designs or ideas, pictures of what you’ve built/constructed, projects you’ve been involved with, etc.
Start building your brand at college before everyone changes classes, majors or move away.
