Getting Your CV Noticed

The problem that stalks and baffles most job hunters these days is that of getting noticed. Everyone is looking for a gimmick that will raise them above the crowd and into an office. Stories circulate about the unique ideas perpetrated by other, mythological candidates. The person who got their job by printing their CV on their t-shirt and then wearing it out and about, for example. This type of gimmick may work for some people, but unfortunately for the rest of us it has a short shelf life. It will only work once and then it will seem imitative at best. The question is: “What can a normal person do to raise their job-hunting profile?”

Finding Help with Job Hunting Dilemmas

One of the simplest answers to that question is to ask for help from industry professionals. The people who do the daily work of finding, interviewing, and then hiring candidates for their companies are often happy to talk about what they are looking for in a successful applicant. There are reams written regularly about the state of the hiring process and you can get access to that information and use it to your advantage. One thing that you will regularly see mentioned though, is a well written CV and cover letter.

A Well Written Ambassador

Applying for a job with a properly written CV and cover letter seems like a simple thing. Surprisingly, many people don’t know how to make the most of their curriculum vitae and they are suffering for it in the job market. If you want to stand out and get noticed, then consider taking a look at the document that does all the talking for you. You may even want to go so far as to enlist the services of a professional CV writer, who can update and improve you CV—thereby improving your chances on the job hunt.

Personal Injury – Assault and or Battery

Most of the personal injury cases that are brought to personal injury lawyers are because of accidents, car crashes or slip and fall incidents. There is another category of personal injury that has grown in size partly due to the large number of people with anger issues. The “assault” or “battery” cases are on the steady rise in litigation and are handled by personal injury attorneys. The “assault” or “battery” case must be a case of intentional harm to the victim. Most assault and/or battery cases are handled in civil court vice instead of criminal court, due to the nature of the offense.

Assault – Personal Injury

An assault happens when a person (victim) expects that they are about to be harmed or hurt by another person (offender) the action must be a “reasonable apprehension of imminent and harmful contact.” Some of the actions that might be considered as assault are;
• Person shaking their fist in your face – victim thinks he is going to get punched
• Person pointing a toy gun at you – victim thinks the gun in real and fears being shot
• While crossing at an intersection someone accelerates their car as if they are going to hit you then brakes – victim thinks he is about to be run over
In battery cases no actual contact needs to be made, the intent substantiates a tort for assault.

Battery – Personal Injury

The offender in a battery case makes intentional and harmful or offensive contact with another person. Battery cases can be litigated even when no physical harm comes to the victim. As long as the contact made by the offender was inappropriate or offensive victims should seek the services of a personal injury attorney concerning their right to compensation.

What to do in Assault or Battery Situations

As in all personal injury cases, time is of the essence. Do not hesitate of wait to contact a personal injury lawyer. The facts of the case and the evidence that will support the claim for compensation need to be documented in full in a timely manner. If an injury occurred documentation is of the utmost importance, medical records should be provided to the personal injury lawyer and photographs to support the extent of the injury should be furnished. If there are any witnesses be sure to obtain their name, address and phone number for future use by the personal injury attorney. Any compensation rewarded in an assault and/or battery case will be contingent on the extent of the incident.

Is FiOS Available in YOUR Area?

High speed fiber optic technology delivers the fastest bit rate data transfer available to users. The company that offers home users the technology is Verizon. With downstream speeds of up to 50 mps and upstream speeds of up to 35 mps no other service can compare with the speed and bandwidth Verizon offers over its fiber optic network. Although cable companies are rushing to catch up, right now Verizon is the only company offering customers an entirely fiber optic connection, end to end.

The only thing slow about FiOS is the deployment process

Even with the huge investment Verizon has made in its fiber optic network, some critics still complain about how slow the deployment has been. As of now 17 states have some areas where FiOs services are available. Aside from the cost of installing the fiber optic cabling, it is also a difficult process. Verizon, at one time planned to install FiOs everywhere but has been rumored as of late that installation in some areas may be shelved, if it is not cost effective to proceed. So you are more likely to get FiOs if you live in a heavily populated area of the country.

The states where FiOs is currently available are:

• California
• Connecticut
• Delaware
• Florida
• Indiana
• Maryland
• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire
• New Jersey
• New York
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania
• Rhode Island
• South Carolina
• Texas
• Virginia
• Washington

Why FiOs?

Verizon is betting that in the future, the public demand for higher speed internet access and data transfer rates will continue to increase. If you are a person that just uses the internet to read email or paying an occasional bill you won’t be impressed by the speed of FiOs. But if you watch online movies, listens to streaming music or plays 3D games online you will appreciate the speed of FiOS. To find out if FiOs is available in your area the Verizon website has up to date information online.
