I have been hearing that this site has more clevel jobs than The Ladders, ExecuNet, etc. but that it is more expensive.

Apparently, the http://www.CLevelCrossing.com site goes out and researches jobs instead of charging employers to post jobs like other sites do and takes jobs from employer websites instead of recruiters. I have heard some good things about CLevelCrossing for CEO jobs and CFO job but am skeptical of any site that charges money.

Apparently, http://www.CLevelCrossing.com is the most expensive membership job site out there. It costs twice as much as TheLdders, though, so I am not sure if it is worth it. I work in finance and no one is having luck getting jobs in finance in New York these days.

In our previous businesses, such as the recording studio and consulting business, we definitely needed business cards that contained our name, title, company name, and contact information along with our logo. Recently, though, I have begun freelance work for websites and was debating whether or not I really needed a business card. Well, this weekend I attended a friend’s wedding and met a potential client. He was a manager for the website of a major retail store. I was kicking myself the whole way home for not having printed any business cards yet.

Because I do a variety of work from my freelance business, I’m thinking about printing two-sided business cards, something I have never done before. My plan for the front side is to include the information that I have always included and on the backside list my services or maybe print URLs of published work. I am also thinking about printing with color, so that I can include my logo. I think that black-and-white business cards can look cheap, and I want people to know that I complete high quality work for major companies. I am not sure that I will include a title, though. I don’t think this is necessary for every business, and I am not sure what I would call myself, except for “freelancer,” which doesn’t seem professional. Since business cards represent a company and are a powerful marketing tool, I am very picky about the design. Sometimes maybe too picky, if this is possible when creating an image for my new business.

They are what you need when talking with someone, and you want to give them your email address, phone #, etc. I don’t care if you’ve got a totally catch name for your business – people walk away and forget.

But if they’ve got your card, it’ll get end up sitting on their desk, or their bureau, and they’ll see it and go “Oh yeah, I meant to send her that link we were talking about”, or whatever.

They are cheap, they are easy, why wouldn’t you?

Mine have the usual name, logo, url, phone #, email, and what I think is key: the tag line. Like most web workers I do a variety of things, but it all has to do with making things easier to use. So my tag is
“Making it Clear”.

I think that’s the branding part of business cards.

I’m a sole proprietor and I operate under my own name so I just have my business name, my website, email, cell phone and fax number. I didn’t put my name as separate from my business name, and I didn’t put a title.
I think business cards are extremely important for web workers who are freelancers, I don’t know how you’d spread the word about your business without having someone to hand someone so they can remember your name/url. Also as someone just starting out I felt it was important for me to have expensive, professional looking business cards (I chose letterpressing and a high-quality, textured duplex paper for mine) in order to be taken seriously.
