"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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?

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

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.

I'm thinking the concepts from #2 in the design from #3.

So, I think this is it

I like. Though do you have a non-fannish gmail address to use? I've heard people remark none too kindly on individuals still using aol addresses. The consensus (bullshit, of course) is that the person is stuck in the '90s technology-wise.

The cards were really a great tool for me. Spring for the heavier paper. It feels more substantial, and I think it reinforced my professionalism. Again, I may be talking ex-cloaca.

Ha! I use it because that's the professional address I've been using my whole life and I'm a rampant sentimentalist.

I have to admit that I have exactly that bias, when I see someone with an AOL address I sort of assume that they are a bit of a technology luddite.

Yes, love, but you are a technology snob ;)
