Creating professional e-cards is a great way to build experience and confidence needed in business.

CorpNote offers college students a way to gain experience that builds communication and leadership skills by sending business E-Cards, Invitations, and Surveys in a professional environment.

Ideas for Networking with students, faculty and potential employers

• Reach out to those already working in the industry you wish to pursue such as class guest speakers and company representatives at career fairs.
  
  
• If you are part of a club or organization send e-cards to fellow students to introduce your cause and promote activity participation.
  
  
• Send a follow up e-card after a career fair to help you stand out and demonstrate your professional communication skills

Ideas for Managing Events with professional online invitations
Online invitations are an immediate, cost-effective way to send invitations to fundraisers, fraternity and sorority events, study groups, RA meetings, club events, dances, sporting events, theatrical presentations, etc.

CorpNote's online invitation manager allows you to easily manage event RSVP's and guest lists.

1. Create an Event
2. Create an E-card Invitation with a RSVP link
3. View and Manage your Guest List

You can track your responses in real time

• View, print and save guest lists in a variety of formats, and export attendance lists as Excel spreadsheets for use in other programs or reports
  
• Edit responses and manually add attendees to your list that respond via phone or mail
  
• Easily send follow-up messages to all your ‘yes’ or ‘no’ respondents

You can also send event reminder e-cards to increase event attendance. And don't forget to send your thank you e-cards after an event, especially to volunteers, guest speakers and those you need to make feel extra special. You could also send a follow-up survey to event attendees using the CorpNote Online Survey Manager. This will help you gauge the success of an event and whether you should hold another and what changes you might want to make.

Put events you have managed on your resume. The experience of managing an event in an organized and professional way will show your leadership skills.

Ideas for Research and Making Decisions

Use Online Surveys to help decide event topics, party themes, conduct class research, or as a voting tool.

CorpNote's online survey manager allows you to easily manage survey responses.

2. Create an E-card with a link to your survey

You can track your responses in real time and manage your surveys from the Survey Manager. The Survey Manager enables you to create reports based upon those responses. Survey e-cards are helpful with class projects concerning polls and generating opinion percentages.

• View, print and save responses in a variety of formats
• Export survey results as an Excel spreadsheet for use in other programs or reports
  
• Edit responses and manually add responses for people that respond via phone or mail
  
• Easily send follow-up messages to all your respondents

Ideas for professional Interview Communication

Send an e-card to thank a potential employer for the opportunity to interview with them and confirm that you will be there at the designated date and time. Let them know how you look forward to meeting them and learning more about their company. Use CorpNote's message helper for business-oriented message ideas.

Following up after an interview is important but a little scary too. Did you get the job? And what happens if you did. Even if you're nervous, don't procrastinate getting in touch. If you have not heard back from the interviewer within the week, you should give them a call.

What if you get their voice mail? No problem. Send them a thank you e-card. You will see if they pick it up. If the interviewer views the e-card and doesn't respond within the next few days, you could send another e-card or focus on other opportunities.

Include CorpNote usage on your resume to show employers that you have what it takes to effectively communicate in the 'Internet' age and how those results have benefited you and/or your club/organization. Employers will recognize how they can apply your skills to their business.
