Business
Card Software
It's not appropriate to hand out company-provided business cards at
interviews, especially old cards if you're unemployed. (If you want to
keep it a secret, it's not a good idea for interviewers to contact you at
work either.) But it's still professional to offer them, and these
packages make it easy to create personal, professional business cards
inexpensively. Handy for ICs, temps and consultants, too.
