The Great Business Card Conundrum

My first order of business as a "real attorney" (even though I really feel the definition of "real attorney" is having an actual client....) was going to be...order exciting business cards that say "Jessica M. Crockett, Esq." on them. While I would like to delude myself into believing that I will be handing these out like Gideons and copies of the New Testatment, I really just want to have something to look at that makes me feel like a real attorney. Plus, I have a great monogrammed business card holder that really needs to be used.

However, when attempting to get online to order these fabulous cards that will be the essence of "Jessica M. Crockett...Attorney Version...," (or at least the essence of the free templates online) I was overwhelmed at all the options. First, you have to decide WHICH site to use. Then ALL of them have free business cards...with a reasonable amount of template choices. However, for just like four dollars more, you can pick from thousands of other pre-made templates. Generally, these pre-made templates look cooler....BUT there are so many to look at.

Once you pick the template...then there is the paper finish choice, paper color choice, ink color, embossed or not embossed, what to actually put on the card...I mean, while I think it looks cheesy...I almost like the scales of justice because it takes up space on the card...which otherwise looks pathetic with a wimpy "Jessica M. Crockett, Esq., Licensed in the State of Ohio, e-mail and phone..." What to do??? This was supposed to be exciting and now it is just a big hassle. Any suggestions??

What's In a Name?

You all might be wondering what my name means...."Miss 3 Ps?" Back in the days of when I was in college...I once made a joke to my sorority sisters that I was looking for "Mr. 3 P." The Ps were: Preppy, Pretty-Boy, Pre-Professional. Everyone found it hysterical and remained as a joke through many a Senior Send-Off.

However, later on, while reminiscing about this funny, and slightly shallow, dating criteria, I started thinking. I realized that what I was looking for....was someone just like me! Pretty - check (not in a conceited sort of way...but I don't think I am completely unfortunate looking) Preppy - double, no triple, check and Pre-Professional - check.

So, hence the name of my blog....Miss 3Ps...

I am 26. I have passed the bar exam. I am unemployed. I have an immense amount of student loans. I am getting ready to embark on a new journey...possibly the most difficult of my life....attempting to break out into the job force during an economic recession. Therefore, I have decided to write about my trials and tribulations...not just in my job hunt, but in my life in general.
