Once we enter the workforce full-time, there are a couple of things we do need to sort out. This includes figuring out a bank account and savings situation so that your money has a safe place to go, dealing with bills that come your way, and then networking to increase the chances of you going up the ladder with time. If you are looking into expanding on the latter, you need to go out more and have your business card ready so that you can hand it to people whenever you meet them. If you do not have a business card of your own, then it is time for you to create one. You can check out Black Metal Kards for options and inspirations, and if you need someone to specifically mention the don’ts of designing your business card, you can keep on reading below:
- Your business card should not have more details than necessary. Do not write down the previous jobs that you held, your dream job, or anything of the sort. This is a way to establish professional contacts so keep it short and sweet. Your full name, job title, and contact details are your email or phone number. That is it. Anything beyond that can look unprofessional.
- Do not go for bright flashy colors for your text or your card color. Again, this is a professional means of networking, so things have to be kept simple and decent. Opt for neutral colors and a simple black text so that everything can be read easily.
- Cursive fonts look nice from a distance but are not recommended for business cards (unless that’s your actual job) so keep the text readable and simple. Complicated texts make it hard to read and that is an absolute no when it comes to business cards.
