Reply To: Sea Monkey Contact/Business Cards
During my stretches of unemployment (2 months in 2007, 2 months in 2008, 3 months in 2009… my main goal for 2010 was “The Year I Don’t File For Unemployment”. Achievement Unlocked, and 2011 looks like it’ll be okay in that regard, too), I made my own non-corporate cards using quality pre-perfed card stock, my printer, and good ol’ MS Word. Nothing fancy, no graphics, just name, a brief business-like descriptor (“Experienced Mechanical Engineer” in this case), contact info, and, on the back, the Reduced Version of my skills summary from my CV.
If I was doing them for fun/personal, I’d probably fun-up the descriptor (“Mad Science Applications Specialist/Pirate Engineer”, which is a fairly accurate description of what I really do for a living), drop the bit on the back from the CV, and include some quality art of my pirate engineer logo (based shamelessly on Anthony Bourdain’s logo from his chef’s whites). Hmmm. I may do that for JCCC2 anyway. 🙂
