Share A Career Tip and You Could Win a MacBook Air!

December 6, 2010 3:00 pm     Posted in Cool Stuff  Candy -- NYU g+ page

2010 is coming to an end and guess what? The economy still sucks. There are no jobs. The employment rate for college grads is down. Again.


By Candy

In a depressing market like that, people need to step up their game to get ahead of their competition. You gotta prepare. You gotta know your ish. You gotta do whatever you can to prove to that hiring manager that you’re a better candidate than the 300 other recent grads sitting vying for the same job (from their parents’ living rooms).

But how do you do that?

Monster.com has you covered.

Being that Monster is one of the biggest job searching websites in the world, they’ve helped millions of people find the jobs of their dreams. Now, to say thanks, those people are sharing their tips for success with the people who need it most. And they want you to do the same.

Are you a recent grad with an awesome new gig?
A current student who found a sweet summer job on Monster.com?
Or maybe the perfect internship for next semester?

Share your tip on Monster.com’s success site and you will be entered to win a brand spanking new MACBOOK AIR! Yes, it’s true. Here’s how it works:

1. Go to
http://success.monster.com

2. Submit either a career tip or success story of how you found a job on Monster (bonus: you get one extra entry if you submit your tip or story with a photo or video!)
3. Tag your entry with “College Candy” at the end.

At the end of the week, we’ll randomly choose a winner and reward you for sharing your job hunting knowledge with a sleek, sexy MacBook Air! And for those of you without job tips, well, with the hundreds of helpful tips already on there to help you find employment post graduation, you’re all winners too.

Good luck!

    Great idea! I posted mine, but tagged it "collegecandy", all one word. I'm a dummy, but I hope you can still find it!

    The written of this article is obviously a White Anglo Saxon protestant. The reason that you do not see people with facial hair ( point 8) ( religious Jews , Sikhs or similar) in Senior positions is because North American business tends to be highly predictable its marginalization of other groups. Go to Israel and you will see many beards in high tech and other highly technical fields. Ask yourself why is this and why is Israel the number two worldwide in venture capital sites and Canada does even come close. The writer of this article rely’s on old prejudiced for some cheap shots! Countries and corporations who think this way will remain choppers of wood and miners of gold and uranium. Other than the above I found the information in this article to be common sense that most people at senior positions have already sewn into their portfolios.

Tell us what you're thinking...
