Lebanon, NH (December 13, 2011) – Trying to give job seekers a leg-up on 2012 job searches, StartWire™, a game-changing Internet job search organizer, is sharing its first annual Best-Kept Job Search Tips for 2012. Seeking to radically improve the job search process, StartWire closes the “résumé black hole” by providing job seekers with automatic application status updates from thousands of employers.
“Typically, this is the time of year when job seekers reflect on their current job search and re-ignite their efforts to land a position in the new year,” said Chris Forman, CEO & Co-Founder of StartWire. “The problem is that job seekers have no real insight into the progress of previously submitted job applications. StartWire’s mission is to change this black hole mentality by providing updates on job searches and now also deliver proven job search recommendations to increase their chances for success.”
Early bird gets the job – Applying first to just-posted positions will dramatically increase your chance of getting hired. StartWire’s recent study of more than 6,600 hires across 10 industries shows that nearly 50% of company hires were applicants who applied within the first week and approximately 75% of all hired candidates applied within three weeks of the job posting.
Read the business section – Thousands of resumes pour in from the help wanted/employment ads and job boards. If you really want to be considered for a job, take a look at the local newspaper’s business section or the regional business magazine to find unearthed opportunities. Positive corporate announcements, such as receiving funding or landing new clients, often mean new jobs. Get ahead of the game and contact recruiters before jobs are posted.
Understand a company’s hiring approach – All companies recruit differently. Depending on the recruiting department’s philosophy, the company may hire exclusively through employee referrals or via corporate events. Take the time to find out what their hiring approach is and tailor your efforts to be noticed so that your resume will have a greater chance of making it to the top of the pile.
Find local connections to industry jobs – Local connections are paramount in a successful job search. In addition to local business organizations, almost every industry has a professional association with local chapters. Send an introductory email to the local chapter leaders and attend some of the relevant events. It can open doors to future job positions.
Use Social Media to get inside– Actively following and engaging with potential employers’ social media networks may help increase your chances for an interview or a second look by hiring managers. This shows you are interested in the company and are actively following its efforts. Plus, social media circles often yield inside networking opportunities. Research shows that 1 in 10 candidates whose resumes come through a referral are hired, compared to 1 in 100 general applicants.
In a deal announced Friday, China-based JinkoSolar Holding Co. agreed to produce 7 million solar panels for FPL-parent NextEra Energy at a new plant in Jacksonville.
Under the agreement, JinkoSolar will provide Juno Beach-based NextEra Energy with up to 2,750 megawatts of high-efficiency solar modules -- roughly 7 million solar panels -- over about four years.
As part of the deal, JinkoSolar is opening its first U.S. factory in Jacksonville, which will create more than 200 direct jobs in Florida as well as hundreds of additional local jobs in shipping and other related industries, NextEra Energy said.
Jim Robo, NextEra Energy's chairman and CEO, said the investment is part of the company's strategy to invest more heavily in new solar projects across the country. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to buy cost-effective, reliable solar panels made here in America," he said in a news release.
Once fully operational, JinkoSolar's factory in Jacksonville is expected to have the capacity to build 400 megawatts of solar modules annually -- more than 1 million solar panels a year. Production is expected to begin later this year, NextEra said.
"Investing in this solar panel manufacturing facility makes clear our commitment to Florida and the growing U.S. market," said Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar, in a news release. He said the advanced solar panel manufacturing operation will provide the company with the ability to grow its U.S. customer base.
JinkoSolar is a New York Stock Exchange-listed company with operations in China, the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Chile, South Africa, India, Mexico, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Spain, France and Belgium.

Gareth Wood’s Cardiff Bay Overture portrays the vitality and history of the waterfront area of the capital. This is followed by two pieces by Eric Coates that became famous as the theme tunes of radio’s Music While You Work and Desert Island Discs.
Vaughan Williams wrote his stunningly beautiful Serenade to Music in 1938 for Sir Henry Wood’s 50th anniversary concert – it was much loved by Sergei Rachmaninov!
Sir Malcolm Arnold’s dramatic Peterloo Overture was commissioned by the TUC and commemorates an event 200 years ago in Manchester when a peaceful gathering about political reform – attended by 80,000 people – was broken up forcibly and violently by the authorities. The moving and triumphant conclusion of Sir Malcolm’s Overture says that those who died did not do so in vain.
Currently, there are no medications to cure the hepatitis A virus. Typically when you contract the virus, symptoms will last 2-6 months. These symptoms can feel like the flu, and doctors may even prescribe medications to treat these flu-like symptoms. Getting vaccinated with the hepatitis A vaccine can create antibodies in your immune system, protecting you from contracting hepatitis A if given prior to coming in contact with the virus.
Abstaining from alcohol and consulting your doctor before taking certain medications that can affect the liver are ways that you can help prevent liver damage. Hepatitis A is a liver disease and although it is easily manageable, long- term infections can cause liver damage or even death.
Syphilis is transmitted sexually, through direct contact with a syphilis sore, rash, or mucous membrane, usually during unprotected oral, vaginal or anal sex. Sores, or chancres (pronounced SHANG-ker), occur on the lips and mouth, vagina, penis, anus, and/or rectum. Pregnant women with syphilis can also pass the infection along to their unborn children. Syphilis cannot be contracted from doorknobs, toilet seats, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared clothing or eating utensils.
Getting tested for STDs regularly for syphilis and other STDs can potentially save your life. Syphilis is easiest to cure in the earlier stages and it is important to cure this disease before it causes internal organ damage.
Syphilis is the most contagious during the early (primary and secondary) stages, but it can be contracted at any stage. A single sore appears during the primary stage (approximately 21 days post exposure) and syphilis is easiest to spread when this sore is present. These sores or chancres look like a mucous patch (lesion) or wart-like patch in or on the vulva, vagina, penis, cervix, anus, rectum, lips, tongue or on the original infected area during sexual contact. If a syphilis infection is detected during the primary or secondary stage, it can be easily and quickly cured with a round of antibiotics.
Yes, you can get reinfected with syphilis because it is caused by bacteria. Even after successful treatment, it is still possible (and very likely) to get reinfected with syphilis if your partner has not been treated. Since syphilis sores can be out of sight in the vagina, anus, under the foreskin or in the mouth, it may not be apparent that you or your partner has been infected. For this reason, it is advisable that both you and your partner get tested and treated together, and abstain from sexual activity until the syphilis sores have healed and the treatment is complete for both partners.
During the tertiary stage of syphilis, small, rubbery lesions may develop on the bones, skin, nervous system tissue, and/or arteries of the heart or the brain. Due to these lesions and other health complications, these individuals are susceptible to heart attack, paralysis, blindness, stroke, numbness and dementia. Tertiary syphilis is lethal. While antibiotics can cure a syphilis infection even during these late stages, they cannot reverse any permanent damage done to the body by syphilis-related complications.
You should inform your partner about your syphilis infection as soon as possible. Syphilis is not only a highly contagious disease, it is a potentially fatal one as well. If you test positive for syphilis, chances are your sex partner has it as well. For this reason, it is wise for you and your partner to get tested and treated for syphilis together, so that you can minimize your chances of re-acquiring the infection or passing it along to someone else. At STDcheck.com we offer our FDA-approved Syphilis Test. If you test positive for syphilis, you are eligible for a phone consultation with a doctor who may advise you about available treatments. Our doctors recommend getting retested 3 months after your initial treatment in order to be sure that the Treponema pallidum bacterium has not re-entered your system and was totally cleared of the bacteria in the first place.
According to the CDC, a person is 2-5 times more likely to contract HIV if exposed when syphilis sores are present. Oral, anal, vaginal, or penile syphilis sores also make it easier to contract HIV and spread it to others. It is easier to contract or transmit because syphilis sores bleed easily and are more likely to come in contact with mucous openings in the penis, vagina, anus and/or mouth.
