Thinking about the kind of business card that the people carry to introduce themselves I can say that there are two different types of them, it means that depend on the labour situation of the person.
When a person is working in a company he/she can display a business card showing, firstly, the company’s name, his/her name and surname, the position within the business structure, the phone (mobile phone and office phone) and the e-mail address.
Whereas the unemployed should chance the company’s name for the high level of his/her education, it could be the university degree, and withdraw all the previous details concerning the company (office phone and business structure)
