FedEx Office Provides Free Resume Printing on March 10

No one needs reminding that America’s workforce has been affected by these challenging economic times. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently said the country’s unemployment rate stands at 7.6 percent, and the Federal Reserve believes it could go far higher. That means many of our friends, family members, and neighbors are looking for employment, working tirelessly to get their resume in front of recruiters and hiring managers. And despite living in a digital era, America’s job seekers still benefit from the use of printed resumes that highlight their unique skills and experience when it comes time for a face-to-face interview.

That’s where FedEx Office wants to help.

As FedEx founder Fred Smith says in the 2008 FedEx Global Citizenship Report, “We believe we can do the most good by focusing on areas where we can apply our specific expertise.” Here at FedEx Office we specialize in providing professional printing services, and we will leverage this skill on March 10, 2009, during FedEx Office Free Resume Printing Day.

On that day, any customer who visits one of the 1,600+ FedEx Office Print and Ship Centers in the United States can order up to 25 printed copies of their resume free of charge. There is no purchase necessary, just free resumes for those who need them. For more details, read the formal announcement.

We look forward to seeing you in our centers and serving you on March 10, 2009.
