Looking for a job can be a stressful time. There are almost always more candidates than there are jobs, which is why it’s important to find unique ways to stand out. That means going beyond the “dress to impress” mantra.
Obviously, you’ll still want to dress nicely, but there are other ways to step up your game—and an important one is creating an information packet for potential employers. Include your resume, cover letter and samples of your work. While this seems like a common idea, you can stand out by enhancing different elements of the folder.
An amazing design on the cover will draw attention to your packet and entice people to open it. In addition, you can also get creative with the inside elements of the folder, such as the pockets and business card slots.
Use vertical or wavy pockets for a change from the average, straight horizontal pockets. Business card slots are great for standard-shaped business cards, but you can change them up to hold a card of any size, which is another way you can stand out.
Four corner slots are available for horizontal and vertical cards, as well as top and bottom corner slots. Angular notch slots are great for different cards, but also are available in round. You can also create a custom slot to match the design on the cover.
Not sure what else you can do? Company Folders, Inc. put together this reference guide to show off a variety of business card slotss.
