FedEx Office Offers Free Resume Printing

Sure it's a PR gimmick, but it's a socially responsible one and that is something I can get behind. FedEx Office (formerly FedEx Kinko's) has announced it will offer, "FedEx Office Free Resume Printing Day” on March 10, 2009, offering to print up to 25 copies of each customer’s resume for free. In troubled economic times it's nice to see a company, particularly a very big one trying to help.

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.

Now if the banks would follow suit and losen up their credit instead of paying out big bonuses, we could all get over this rough patch and grow the economy again.
