Hold 'Em

I've already stressed the importance of investing in your own set of business cards. But you also need something to carry these business cards in. A "purse" of sorts for your cards. Need I say more?

Imagine you just met an incredibly awesome connection at a networking event. You two are really hitting it off and are ready to exchange business cards. Nothing is more embarrassing than having to pull out a plastic Ziploc baggie from your purse to retrieve your card. Well, maybe it would be equally embarrassing if you didn't have business cards in the first place!

Either way, business card holders are a must for transporting your cards in style. They show you are professional and prepared, two very important qualities in the job hunt! I have to admit I need to invest in a fashionable business card holder, so I rounded up some of my favorites. Christmas present, anyone?

1. Gold Envelope // I am a huge fan of gold and this sleek envelope would be perfect for stashing discretely in your purse. // See Jane Work

2. Let's Do Lunch // I love the minimalist design, and the cheeky "let's do lunch" engravement on the front is adorable. This holder shows your personality while not hitting you over the head. // kate spade new york

3. Tiffany's Blue // Nothing is more chic or timeless than Tiffany's. While this business card holder is definitely a splurge, it could be a good reward post-graduation. // Tiffany & Co

4. Patterned Envelope // The bright colors and fun pattern on this business card holder will stand out - in the right way! Added bonus - you will always be able to find it in your purse! // Etsy

5. Tory Burch // Another splurge, but the simple, classic design will be sure to last you for years! The cognac-colored leather is to die and would be the perfect complement to a Tory Burch wallet. // Tory Burch 

What kind of business card holder do you have?
