We Assume That Everyone Can Type

"We assume that everyone can type.”

That is what LaToia Kell, Manager of Sales and Marketing for ProEdit’s Staffing Division, said when asked if any clients required proof of typing skills from potential candidates.

If it is assumed that you can type, how many words per minute can you type? How accurately do you type? When was the last time you took a typing test?

Governor Calls for License Plate Revote!

Governor Nathan Deal has called for a revote for the online Georgia License Plate Contest. Several of the designs featured the phrase “In God We Trust.” As it turns out, the phrase is only available as an optional sticker and will not be part of the final design.

With any design process, it takes a few rounds of review before finalizing the draft. So, the first vote was like a QA: all the bugs were found and now we’re ready for the second draft.

If you didn’t get a chance to vote, now is the time—go vote! If you already voted, we trust you will vote again! Voting ends on Monday, August 8, at 3 p.m.

It Pays to Rephrase!
