Proven Direct offers free resumes for unemployed
Published April 7, 2009 - BizTimes Daily
Proven Direct has launched a free resume printing program to assist Milwaukee-area residents without jobs.
The company will print 25 single-sided black-and-white resume copies per person on resume-quality paper. Twenty-five blank pages of matching cover letter paper and mailing envelopes also will be provided. Jobseekers in need of printed resumes are encouraged to log onto www.provendirect.com to participate.
The free service is being offered on an ongoing basis to the first 1,000 participants.
"If response to the program is strong, we may consider expanding beyond the first 1,000," said company president Mike Limbach. "We wanted to do something to help out the local community during these challenging economic times. Proven Direct is part of the Milwaukee area business community, the majority of our customers are Milwaukee companies and certainly all of our employees are Milwaukee area residents. We all know someone, and probably several people, who have lost their jobs. Ink on paper is one of our core production services so we felt this would be one small way to give back to the community and try to assist those in need of employment."
The resume program is being carried out in collaboration with two other Milwaukee area companies; Lindenmeyr Munroe and Western States Envelope and Label. Lindenmeyr Munroe is providing paper, Western States Envelope and Label is supplying envelopes, and MindFire, located in California, is assisting with the technology used for order submission. Proven Direct is providing printing services, pickup and program coordination.
