Gmail is better in my book since you used to need a referral to get it and it has much better features than yahoo like calendars. Even better is to get your own domain which shows that you know how to use the internet. Also going back to the main article, you should always have one email address on your business card, even with telemarketers. I have 2 cards, one set that I use for friends and job prospects and another with a separate address that I use for people who I think may spam me or call on me to sell stuff. These people go directly to my voicemail on google voice and their emails do not go to my blackberry. -Mark at http://ameres.net .-= MAmeres´s last blog ..<a href="http://twitter.com/MAmeres/statuses/8898578862" rel="nofollow">MAmeres: @OnsetLaurie may I send you some resumes?</a> =-.

I’m the best.” SnapDat is an iPhone app that lets you create and send cards paperlessly, which, in some circles, is gaining popularity.

You can't pass out resumes at a networking event. It's ok, but not really professional. I would also consider going to a stationary store and get seamless business cards and put some temporary ones together. Business cards are essential in a job search.
