It used to mean that they were interested in you as a candidate. Now, I think that many executives hand them out to flaunt their titles.

Yeah most complain when they don't get cards, I guess he could stomp on it on the way out  |

Maybe after reading these posts I should stop giving mine out. I do it at the beginning of the interview, so the candidate can refer to it and not have to worry about forgetting my name, hopefully putting them more at ease.

No, but your sentence structure is.
I've had to call back and ask for names and spellings so I could send a thank you note. I wish they'd handed me a card. If you don't want it, throw it away. Simple. |

Apparently not. I do see why some people are unemployed. |

It seems you have to know people to get a job these days. That sucks! Well how am I supposed to network if I don't know anyone? Effing corporate America! |

Last time, I sent a got business card and sent a thank you card was in '08. I went from $12/hr to $37.5k/year.
It is a 2nd chance to restate why you should be hired. |

My experience has been that the interviewer only offers the business card if they are interested in you. If the interviewer is not interested then you have to ask for the card |
