Sample Mini Resume Business Card

You need to be prepared to sell yourself at all times. Many job hunting books suggest you keep your resume with you at all times. However...my resumes did not include basset hound foot prints! Think about it, if you keep some resumes with you in the car/truck, you will either spill a drink on them, have the kids throw them on the floor or like me, have a pet give them a personalized look which despite her best efforts, was not the appropriate look for a prospective employer to see.
