Making the Most of a Bad Situation
AdFreak shares a great idea for making the most of being laid off: Cards of Change. The gist of it, according to AdFreak:
The idea is to take your old business card and scratch out the contact info, replacing it with a new e-mail address along with a story of positive change.
This pretty much tells the whole story, don't you think?
Makes me wish I had kept my business cards, though I’m not sure I have the patience to take a Sharpie to 500 individual cards. How would you tell your story on your old business card?
