I also refuse to use business cards. They are bullshit. People take your card then then blank you out of their memory but if they ask for your card and you tell them "I refuse to use business cards" they remember you. Then you exchange contact info and enter it into your phone right on the spot which is much more effective.

I have exactly same opinion about it.I find resumes policy retarded as they dont really show do you have skills or not.Of course,they are anyway used as "first step" of filtering,but you might losing someone good just because he does not having a real job experience.And also you could get a dead beat who have tons of experience but in reality dont do shit just because he think how his resume is enough.
And yes i use same approach with refusing bussiness cards but people spam me with it anyway.But one way or another if i tend to bussiness with someone i will contact them instead waiting for them to contact me.
