When social media first came into being, most people ignored it since they assumed it was just another passing fancy. Of course, you can’t even get a job nowadays if you don’t have a social media presence, and things have changed to such a drastic degree that people can now forge entire careers just through LinkedIn and nothing else whatsoever! In case you have been living beneath some sort of calcified mineral deposit and are therefor unaware of what LinkedIn truly is, it’s basically a social media site that gives you the ability to create a professional network entirely on the internet for the most part.
Suffice it to say that not having a LinkedIn account will make it more likely that you would create an ice cube in a raging inferno rather than get a job, so you should really get started on it without further delay. Once you have the profile up and running, the next step is to add it to you Metal Kards or any other business cards are in your possession. With all that having been said, it should be mentioned that you can’t just add the link on the card in the form of text, since no one is going to type it into the address bar!
Instead, you should create a QR code for your LinkedIn profile that would enable recipients of the business card to point their camera at it and get taken straight to your account. It’s actually really simple to have this QR code made. All you really need to do is go to a QR code creator online, type in the address of your LinkedIn profile and voila! The QR code will be ready for you to use, and you can copy paste it onto the design before you send it off to a service provider to get it printed.
