Leveraging the Web to land a job

If you didn't believe me about the possibilities with blogging or didn't go home after class and read the Sun-Sentinel article in the Money section, page 6D, then here is the short copy:

MTV just had an online contest for its first Twitter jockey, for a job for a year, plus $100K prize. Murphy-Goode Winery received 2,000 applicants for its "Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent," a $10,000 a MONTH social-media job meant to promote the business and Northern California. Jeanette Thwing, a 27-year-old Orlando woman who blogs about affordable fashion, learned about Sunglass Hut's blogger contest from one of her 5,000 Facebook fans. The winnings included $100K, a furnished apt. in New York City for a year, $1,000 fashion allowance, and a blogging job for a year.

Now who wants to learn how to blog and use Social Media? Anyone who responds by next Wednesday, January 26 with a story about other similar contests or jobs or links to the winners' blogs with insightful information, will receive 5 bonus pts.

This is a Read, not watch. Expand your horizons as you follow this link:
