Your Interview Arsenal !

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 @ 5:56 am | Videos, Interview Questions


Getting ready for an interview is just like a game of war that you might have played with your friends as a child. We both know that you have no chance of winning with out the right ammunition. This means that you must have a business card. Having a business card to share during your interview says something about who you are. You want to make sure that your business card in printed on good quality paper, remember this is something that you will be leaving behind after the interview to be remembered by. I prefer to have my business card laminated as well. It gives a rich feel in the hand of the person you extend it to and they will be more interested in looking at it. Some people will take the easy inexpensive route of printing their business card from their home computer. The disadvantage to this is the quality of the card stock paper that you would use in your home computer can not compare to the quality of card stock used at a printer.

If expense is an issue, you can get your business cards printed free at www.vistaprint.com, you just pay for shipping and handling. That is where I get my cards made. I normally use the premium business cards which run about $20 for 250 cards; a business card is just one piece of ammunition in your interview arsenal. You will find additional tips and strategies that will make you stand out in a crowd in the above video. Please be sure to read the previous posts to discover the other important ammunition you must bring to you next interview. | digg story

      Great tips and I found the information to be very helpful. You presented the message in a way that makes it plain and simple.

      I travel internationally and I have always wondered how I should adjust the way I exchange cards in these settings. I hope you continue this topic and expand it to cover international situations.
