-- making it big at a major Italian modeling event
Honors never stop coming Nyle's way. He recently
modeled a line of Giorgio Armani clothes on a catwalk
in Milan, Italy. This modeling event is considered
to be one of the most important in the world. A

-- tricks with job application
A deaf person revealed his trick for filling out a
job application form. Instead of mentioning his
deafness, he wrote that he knew sign language.
Another one is to bring your own interpreter
instead of taking a risk with an inexperienced
interpreter that is a stranger to you. Another
trick is to never discuss "ADA requirements"
because these employers know it but may be
very defensive about it. Will these tricks
work? It worked for that deaf person, but
it may not work for others!
-- a surprise with statistics
One state ran a set of employment statistics and
found out that it has 14 times more relay
operators as compared with other states. These
stats were based on 1,000 employees per job
description. This state is Utah and which is
where the world's biggest relay operation is
located. Do statistics tell the truth or do
statistics lie? Possibly a bit of both!
