Having Problems with Your Internet?

Starting on Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, communication media, including the Internet and cell phones, experienced brief inoperability due to a solar storm. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that solar flares would interrupt some satellite communications over the weekend, and additional solar flares are now expected to impact the Earth’s magnetic field on Wednesday or Thursday.

These solar flares were only medium-sized, but they won’t be the last. According to the NOAA, the worst solar flares occurred more than 150 years ago, and a similar storm is brewing for 2013.

Have you thought about how your business will continue to run if your network went down, or worse, something happens to your physical building? How will you gain access to critical data? Do your employees know your company’s protocol in case of a national disaster? Do you have a Disaster Recovery Plan or Master Recovery Policy and Plan?

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?

Use one of the links below to access a free, online typing test. If your score is less than favorable, you may want to use the typing test regularly to practice. This is a fast, easy, inexpensive way to improve typing speed and accuracy.
