Tax Season 2019: Know the Laws Know Your Opportunities

February 15, 2019 by Jeff McRitchie

There are two very important security regulations that require the proper disposal of sensitive and secure documents:

FACTA – As of June 1, 2005, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 is now in effect. This new regulation is the largest step the Federal Government has taken to curb the increasingly widespread occurrences of identity theft and consumer fraud. This regulation makes it a requirement for all businesses, even if there is only one employee, to properly dispose of any information derived from consumer credit information before it is discarded. This would include invoices, credit and background checks, and any other sheet that contains consumer financial information.

HIPAA -In addition to consumer credit information, the health industry must also safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI) and ensure that patients health records are properly destroyed before discarded. The scope of these new regulations is enormous, and unfortunately, to reach compliance most consumers will migrate toward the smaller and more inexpensive shredders that their superstore has to offer. So, it’s important to try and raise awareness of FACTA/HIPAA in your community and steer them toward a reliable shredder that their company will grow in to.

A Few Reasons Why Documents Should Be Shred In-House:

Documents are irrecoverable– using one of our quiet office shredders, you can be assured that every document is shred into tiny irrecoverable pieces.
Stay in Compliance– If you are negligent on the disposal of your records, fines could cost you thousands of dollars. Shred your outdated sensitive information on the highest security levels that Dahle shredders provide.
Environmentally Friendly– save the cost of records management/storage by shredding outdated records with our Dahle CleanTec Shredders, that also insure the capture of fine dust particles using our CleanTec Air Filtration.
Documents are Shred immediately– In house shredding is a one-time cost. With mobile shredding, cost is never ending and in fact, increases each year as fuel surcharges rise. Plus, you know who is handling/shredding your sensitive documents when kept in house.

Dahle can support your efforts in selling the right shredder for the right application and what better time to start than in the middle of Tax Season, when many sensitive document copies are needed for filings and required to be destroyed once completed.

One final tip: P4 security level machines are typically adequate for tax season demands; always ask to make certain. As always, should you need additional information on a shredder or have any questions regarding any of the Dahle products, always feel free to contact us directly.

Keeping Your Resume Out of the Shredder (Part Two!)

August 14, 2012 by Jeff McRitchie Leave a Comment

paper-shredder-2 A couple weeks ago I gave some advice about crafting a good resume from my perspective as an employer (read the first post here). Today, I want to take my advice one step further to help you get that extra edge.

Okay, so let’s say you’ve taken the time to really work out your resume. It’s been proofed, well-organized, and tailored to fit the job to which you’re applying. You can bet that this will definitely separate you from the majority of resumes coming in. Still, with the sheer volume of people looking for jobs these days, you’re probably not the only one who has taken the time to put together a stellar resume. So, how do move your resume to the top of that short stack? Presentation.

Think about it. After you just spent all this time perfecting your resume on the computer, what’s the very last thing you did? Hit print. And if you’re thinking like everyone else, that’s it. You’re done. The thing is, you can’t afford to think like everyone else.

Paper
The first thing you need to do is get some thicker paper. Don’t use the cheap copier paper everyone has in their printer. You want to stand out, remember? You want your potential employer to hold your resume and physically feel a difference between the others he or she has sorted through. Believe it or not, a sturdy resume communicates that you’re confident, serious about the position, and take pride in who you are. This automatically makes you a strong candidate.

Color
You don’t want to go overboard with color. In fact, less is more. White paper is going to do the trick, but if you wanted to use a very subtle colored paper, it would be okay. Just use caution–anything too extravagant can hurt you by distracting from the content of your resume. The same can be said about colored ink. Straight-up black ink will get the job done. Colored ink should be used sparingly, if at all. At most, I’d consider only using colors for titles, headings, and possibly any minimal border or decoration. Again, less is more here.

Presentation Folders
Once you’ve printed your cover letter and resume, consider placing them in a pocket folder or presentation cover. This additional housing for your materials will not only protect them but give them a immensely professional look while, again, communicating your strength as a candidate.

The Digital Age
There’s just one problem with all this advice, right? In this highly technological culture, most resumes and covers letters are sent via email. So, what’s the point? Consider this: Many job postings still include a mailing address. Unless the application instructions explicitly say to use email, why not drop your resume and cover letter in the mail? Better yet, if the job you’re interested in is local, make a trip to drop off your resume in person–this might be an excellent opportunity to meet your future employer and schedule an interview! I can tell you from personal experience that I generally have a slightly stronger connection to the candidates who give me physical resumes than the ones I simply read in my inbox. Their extra effort is undeniably impressive.

Finally, even if you can’t get your prospective employer a physical copy of your resume initially, you’ll have the chance when you’re invited to interview. As an employer, I can tell you that the first thing I’m going to ask for is a copy of your resume, so be prepared! And remember, these strategies aren’t a substitute for quality content in your materials–they can only highlight what’s already there.

Good luck!
