| Re: business cards Always carry a business card and/or current resume. You never know when you might meet your next employer.

| Re: business cards Do any regionals provide business cards? My Doctor has a ton of business cards on his wall but the majority look like the homemade-inkjet printer type, or some kind of semi-generic business card. |

 | Re: business cards vistaprint.com 500 for free. . . I don't call them business cards, but rather "Personal cards." Add your own touch of personal flair, and of course keeping it semi-professional for the occasional networking potential. My current company produces business cards for the instructor staff, which are left out on the dispatch desk for customers. |

| Re: business cards The free vistaprint cards have vistaprint advertising on the back...not very professional IMO. Plus their shipping is ridiculously over priced. VistaPrint does produce high quality cards though. I upped the paper quality to the 100# matte and it looked and felt much more professional. Look around, they always have specials, I got 250 for $25 shipped which included uploading my own design made in Photoshop. Which oh by the way, buy the CHEAPEST shipping possible, that is how they make their money, and they quoted me something like 1 month and it arrived in <1 week.

It's very inexpensive to have a print shop print cards for you with a preset layout. | |

| Re: business cards Okay guys. I get it. Was only an idea. Take it or leave it. I have other "business cards" that are used, I said the "Personal cards" for the simple fact that I give those to friends/associates that are not affiliated with aviation. But hey - take it or leave it. Up to you guys to spend your own money. |
