Oooohhhh, I like Ginger's bullet points.

Very clean.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I talked to my 'career coach' today, and she actually had some good feedback on my resume. I also gave her a writing sample to review (a memo that I sent to my boss).

She liked Option 2 as well, but suggested that I leave the back blank.

I found this card, which has a little oomph (and swoosh).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I like that - it has oomph without being overly girly.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I like that, too.

That looks good.

Printing on the back is a continuing debate. Some people say to use the real estate to give more information; others say that people like to write on the backs of cards.

I'm doing new cards and trying to decide whether to put a QR code on the back. The problem is that business cards last so long. Today, all the cool kids may want to scan your card; tomorrow they may be saying "Those are so '10s."

Yes, I thought that it was a good compromise between having some flair and being feminine

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Is there a difference between Higher Education and Academic?

Higher Ed is the default official term; academic is more a general term, not used to describe the administrative side of the university work experience.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I like either the 2d or 3d choice, Vortex.

Erin rocks with the resume-revising. She redid mine from top to bottom and got me some interviews, which frankly, I didn't think I had a prayer of getting. I got compliments left and right. She's also redoing DH's. Trust me, we wouldn't drop that kind of cash just because she's a Buffista.
