Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 20, 2004 -- In recognition of National Domestic
Violence Awareness Month, October, www.GirlFridayInk.com,
will provide Professional Power Résumé-Writing Services free of charge to
domestic violence survivors from October 20-31, 2004.
Each year, an
estimated 1.5 million women and 834,000 men are physically abused by their
current or former intimate partner or spouse, according to the National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in
Atlanta, Georgia (http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/dvp/dvam.htm). Additionally, one in
four American women state that they are or have been physically abused by an
intimate partner. “Domestic violence destroys people, families and communities
everyday. Domestic violence, on any level, is intolerable. www.GirlFridayInk.com is
committed to improving the quality of life for survivors of domestic violence by
offering free Power Résumé-Writing Services in observance of National Domestic
Violence Awareness Month,” states Professional Power Resume Writer and owner of
www.GirlFridayInk.com, K. G. Weathers.
National
Domestic Violence Month evolved from the Day of Unity first observed in October
1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The first Domestic
Violence Awareness Month was observed in October 1987. For more information,
visit the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: http://www.ncadv.org/community/dvamonth.htm “As a woman and
survivor of domestic violence, I feel it’s my duty to give back by observing
National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. There were so many people that
helped me escape my situation; the only re-payment I can give them is to help
someone else,” states Weathers.
To qualify for free Power Résumé
Writing-Services, the domestic violence survivor must: 1) be a resident of a
domestic violence shelter and 2) have a valid restraining order. The information
will be processed and verified through the shelter with a strict adherence to
confidentiality and anonymity.
“Domestic violence doesn’t only leave
physical scars; it leaves deep emotional wounds and directly impacts the
survivor’s self-esteem and self-worth. Survivors of domestic violence often have
a difficult time re-entering the workforce, due to low self-esteem.
Professionally written résumés boost confidence and significantly improve job
interview success rates. My clients, for instance, are more confident and secure
job opportunities in less than average time, usually within a few weeks. I would
love to provide the same service to domestic violence survivors and watch their
confidence soar. We all need confidence boosters from time to time,” says
Weathers.
