Business Cards for a Business Student

What kind of business card would you recommend for the average business student?

Josh, thanks for the question! At first glance I thought, “Why would a student need a business card?” Then I realized you might have just wanted a free link!   Hopefully you’ve already been taught my advice in that fancy business college you’re going to.   Harvard Business School did you say?   Don’t forget me when you’re rich!

Anyways, the only reason I could think that a business student would need a business card would be to court potential employers. If that’s the case I have a few ideas for you that will turn your business card into a mini-resume.

1. List your GPA, assuming you are a better student than I was.

2. Show your affiliations, schools, degrees, etc.

3. Tell them how appropriate for the job you are. You look older than you are, right?

I think the mini-resume is really the way to go. Those three ideas may not be ideal for you, but with a little brainstorming, you should have a perfect line or two that will be irresistible for that new employer!
