From the FedEx Newsroom:

FedEx Office Provides Free Resume Printing on March 10
Strives to Help Individuals Affected by Downturn of the Economy

DALLAS, March 4, 2009—FedEx Office (formerly FedEx Kinko’s), an operating company of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), today announced plans to offer its printing services in an effort to help job seekers across the nation. The company will host “FedEx Office Free Resume Printing Day” on March 10, 2009, offering to print up to 25 copies of each customer’s resume for free.

As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, the nation’s unemployment rate rose to 7.6 percent and the number of unemployed persons increased to 11.6 million in January 2009. With so many people looking to get their printed resumes in the hands of recruiters and hiring managers, FedEx Office is prepared to help.

The company invites customers to take advantage of this one-day event by visiting any of its 1,600+ FedEx Office Print and Ship Centers in the United States during regular business hours. This offer is good for 25 black-and-white resume copies per customer and is only valid for orders placed and picked up in-store. Customers may place orders by submitting their resume in printed format or as a digital file, and the copies will be printed single-sided on resume-quality paper.

“We understand that the economy has affected many people in a very profound way, and we want to help,” said Brian Philips, president and CEO of FedEx Office. “Printing resumes is one small way we can use our resources to help those who need it.”

To find the nearest FedEx Office Print and Ship Center, visit www.fedex.com or call 1-800-Go-FedEx (1-800-463-3339).

And if you don’t have a current resume, aren’t you just kicking yourself right now?

Break Out Your Red Pen: It’s National Grammar Day!

51VCZMoxIDL._SL160_.jpg(www.inkthinkerblog.com) — Did you know that March 4 is National Grammar Day, as designated by the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar and MSN Encarta? (I posted about it last year, so you should!)

Visit the official National Grammar Day website for some fun grammar goodies:

What grammar no-nos make you cringe the most? “I could care less” makes me want to smack someone. So does saying “fustrated” instead of “frustrated.” There’s an R, people!

Happy National Grammar Day, friends. Make it a good one.

Words I Never Type Correctly on the First Try

794884_typing.jpg(www.inkthinkerblog.com) — I grew up with computers, and I spend my days clacking away on the keyboard. You’d think I’d be able to type by now. Well, you’d be wrong. There are some words that, despite the fact that I do honestly know how to spell them, I simply cannot type them correctly on the first shot. Ever. Here are this morning’s most common culprits — or, perhaps more appropriately, victims:

  • communiactions
  • acqusitieon
  • organizeation
  • supervsied
  • mangement
  • krsiten (this one is BAD!)
  • stregnths
  • oustanding
  • accomolishments
  • throughtou
  • administraiton

What words do you consistently mangle?
