| Create Your Own Business Card
As a student you share many of the same attributes of someone in the business world. You may meet people in the course of a day whom you do not know and who do not know you. It is not always possible to spend a great deal of time talking with and getting to know the people you meet. Even when you do have time to talk, people are not always going to remember everything they learned about you. People you see everyday -- teachers, other students, parents, and family members -- may not know things about you that you'd like them to know. When business people meet they exchange business cards. These small pieces of paper usually contain a person's name, the name of their business, and a title or description of the work they do, and a way to contact the person, such as a phone number or address. Task Create a business card for yourself. Your card should help others know and remember you. Ideally it should convey a sense of who you are, what you do, or your interests -- cheerleader, history buff, teacher's assistant, class president, hall monitor, avid reader, or the only boy in a family of seven girls! A business card generally focuses on a single facet of an individual or business. You may be a cheerleader who also raises rabbits and tutors younger students after school. Create a business card for just one of those aspects of your school life or extracurricular activities. | ||
