Americans Are Happier Than Ever

According to a new Gallup study based on about 30,000 interviews conducted every month between 2008 and 2012, American nation is currently in its happiest mood. The Gallup and Healthways began examining emotional state in January 2008, and the latest Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index shows that Americans’ emotional health index score is now 79.9. The previous high was 79.8, which was reached in March 2008 and May 2010.

Participants of the study were asked to answer a group of special questions considering their emotions over the previous day, such as whether they experienced worry, enjoyment or stress, if they felt sad or happy, whether they learned something interesting, and if they smiled or laughed. After that the scientists compared with September 2011, and the results showed that Americans have higher scores in all of these categories.

According to researchers, improvements in emotional health occur at the same time as Americans views improve on their standards of living, as well as economic confidence.

When searching for a job, both the virtual and the real world have the following in common: A well-functioning network facilitates the trip to the new workplace. Nevertheless, an active and positive self-presentation of one’s own person including all skills, strengths, expert knowledge, and experiences is very decisive.

It is also important that the data in the application documents comply with the information on the internet. Otherwise, the human resource staff might be taken aback.

Yasni is at full speed on its way to Russia

As we all know, in most cases stagnation means stepping backwards, especially for a young and innovative startup such as Yasni. In the last few months everything went exceptionally well for us, particularly regarding our international growth. Therefore, we decided to have a look at Russia. We already have plenty of users from all over the world (U.S.A., UK, France, Canada, Brazil, etc.), but in our opinion Russia offers enormous opportunities for us. At first, we introduced Russian as a new language on Yasni. That was quite a challenge, because all Yasni sites and texts had to be translated. Fortunately, we have a native speaker in our team! So now you can use Yasni completely in Russian – both when logged into your Exposé and when logged out. Of course, you have to set your browser language to Russian, then.

Now, quasi built overnight, here is our new Russian Yasni domain, accessible at yasni.ru.

The opportunities Russia offers can be seen, e.g. at the size of the country. It is by area the largest country in the world and counts more than 140 million inhabitants! We really look forward to welcoming those 140 million users on yasni.ru!
