There are so many fun little perks that follow having a job. Outside of the practical realm, these include a desk to work at and decorate, a new wardrobe, new friends and contacts, new ideas, exposure to brilliance, assimilation into a brand new corporate culture, etc. Since I am unemployed yet prematurely in a professional mind-set (I use this term loosely), I went ahead and did something very working woman-esque.
Via another one of my favorite blogs, Creative Envy I came across an amazing investment, of sorts. I ordered a set of 100 darling mini business cards for $19.99. Awesome deal. Now although I am not employed, that doesn't mean that I am any less important than someone who is a few years older than me and has a job. I have just as much... potential. Very few young career-seekers invest in something like business cards and I think it's a fabulous way to set yourself apart. The business cards on MOO are modern, chic, trendy, and can really make a statement about your professionalism and personality. You can pick designs from a number of different artists, customize your information, and provide your interviewers/contacts with a memorable leave-behind. I'm confident it will make a great impression.
Just thought I'd share my exciting news! I had a preliminary interview with DraftFCB about a week ago. It went great and I was asked to come back in to complete a Customer Intelligence exam (3 hours of data sets and brain riddles...). They're going to be on my University's campus in early November, so I'll be touching base with them again at that point. I also have a phone conversation with their Healthcare brand in NYC this afternoon. Will keep you posted on how that goes. Exciting stuff! Can't wait to see how things turn out!
Your working-woman friend,
A
