Press Release by the Oswego Police Department

e 2013 Click It or Ticket campaign

kicks off May 10 in Illinois. e purpose

of the campaign is to help save lives by

cracking down on those who do not

buckle up through the Memorial Day

holiday weekend.

e Oswego Police Department is join‐

ing the Illinois Department of Trans‐

portation (IDOT), the Illinois State Po‐

lice (ISP) and over 500 local law enforce‐

ment agencies across the state to save

more lives by strongly enforcing seat belt

laws.

“As we kick-off the busy summer driving

season it’s important for everyone to

buckle up every trip, every time, day or

night – no excuses,” said Captain Jeff

Burgner. “Our officers are prepared to

ticket anyone who is not wearing a seat

belt.”

Provisional numbers show that during

the 2012 Memorial Day weekend there

were six fatalities and almost 600 injuries

on Illinois roadways. ree of those fa‐

talities were alcohol-related. Remember

– wearing your seat belt is your best de‐

fense against an impaired driver.

According to the U.S. Department of

Transportation’s National Highway Traf‐

%c Safety Administration (NHTSA), 52

percent of the 21,253 passenger vehicle

occupants killed in 2011 were not wear‐

ing their seat belts at the time of the

crash. As noted, deaths involving seat

belt nonuse are more prevalent at night

than during the daytime. According to

NHTSA, 62 percent of the 10,135 pas‐

senger vehicle occupants killed in 2011

during the overnight hours of 6 p.m. to

5:59 a.m. were not wearing their seat

belts at the time of the crash.

“Seat belts save thousands of lives every

year, but far too many motorists still are

not buckling up, especially at night when

the risk of getting in a crash is even

greater,” said Captain Jeff Burgner. “Our

goal is to save more lives, so the Oswego

Police Department will be out enforcing

seat belt laws around the clock.”

In 2011, seat belts saved an estimated

11,949 lives nationwide according to

NHTSA. While this year’s Click It or

Ticket enforcement campaign runs from

May 10 through May 27, officers are out

enforcing seat belt laws year-round.

Buckle up and encourage your loved

ones to do the same. You will save the

cost of a ticket and may save a life.

or Ticket campaign, please visit

they do the same. If you don't like what

you %nd, it's time to do damage control.

3. Narrow your options.

Many job boards offer %lters to help

users re%ne their search results more

quickly. You should have the option to

narrow your job search by region, indus‐

try and duration, and, oentimes, you

can narrow it even more by keywords,

company names, experience needed and

salary.

4. Go directly to the source.

Instead of just applying for the posted

job opening, one of the best strategies to

%nding a job is to %rst %gure out where

you want to work, target that company

or industry and then contact the hiring

manager. Also, many employers' career

pages invite visitors to %ll out candidate

pro%les, describing their background,

jobs of interest, salary requirements and

other preferences.

5. Find your niche with industry Web

sites.

Re%ne your search even more by visiting

your industry's national or regional Web

site, where you can %nd jobs in your %eld

that might not appear on a national job

board. More and more employers are ad‐

vertising jobs on these sites in hopes of

getting a bigger pool of quali%ed appli‐

cants.

6. Try online recruiters.

Recruiters will help match you with jobs

that meet your speci%c skills and needs.

Not sure where to start? Sites such as re‐

cruiterlink.com, onlinerecruitersdirecto‐

r y. c om , s e arc h% r m . c om an d i -

recruit.com provide links to online

headhunters for job seekers.

7. Utilize video résumés.

Video résumés are just one more way to

stand out to employers. Intended as sup‐

plements to -- not replacements for --

traditional résumés, video résumés allow

job seekers to showcase a little bit of

their personalities and highlight one or

two points of interest on their résumés.

8. Run queries.

You run searches on everything else,

from your high school sweetheart to

low-fat recipes, so why not jobs? Enter a

query that describes the exact kind of

job you're seeking and you may %nd

more resources you wouldn't %nd other‐

wise (but be prepared to do some

sorting).

9. Utilize job alerts.

Most job boards have features that allow

you to sign up to receive e-mail alerts

about newly available jobs that match

your chosen criteria. Or go a step further

and arrange an RSS (really simple syndi‐

cation) feed from one of these job sites

to appear on your customized Internet

homepage or your PC's news-reader

soware.

10. Get connected.

How many times have you been told that

it's not what you know, but who you

know? anks to the emergence of pro‐

f e s s i on a l n e t wor k i ng s i t e s l i ke

LinkedIn.com, job seekers no longer

have to rely on the old standby of ex‐

changing business cards with strangers.

ese sites are composed of millions of

industry professionals and allow you to

connect with people you know and the

people they know and so forth. (A word

of caution: When you sign up for online

social networking sites, you are in a pub‐

lic domain. Unless you are able to put a

%lter on some of your information, noth‐

ing is private, and it can be difficult to

erase once it is posted.)
