Hi guys,
Do you think it's preferrable for experienced hires to present his/her current business card when they are interviewing with another firm? I guess in a way, this can be a little cocky move if the company you are currently working is larger/better but again, this can be used as a marketing tool to make yourself more appealing. Any thoughts?

No need for b-cards, they got your resume
No. Supplemental documents about projects you've listed on your resume might be helpful to bring to the interview, but a business card doesn't make much sense.
haha not unless you want them emailing/calling you at work
Interview - Bring business card as lateral transition? (Originally Posted: 09/23/2007)
First on-site interview for lateral transition as an Analyst. Should I be exchanging my business card with my interviewer? This seems goofy as shit as an Analyst, but for the purpose of formality am Im suppose to give them my business card? Of course, I would get fired if they ever contacted me at work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bump.
Your contact information (hopefully not your work contact info) should all be on your resume. No need to exchange business cards unless it's specifically asked for which I don't see happening. When he gives you his just make it noted that your contact info is on your resume.
If you're going to get fired if they contact you at work, why on earth would you think about giving them your work contact info.
I certianly wouldnt want to put myself in precarious situation at work, that said, I suppose I was questioning formality. In the context of analyst/associate interviews, is it normal for the interviewee to exchange business cards with the inteviewer? Seems silly as your intention in interviewing is to leave your current employer.
Additional insight is welcome. Again, thank you.
