As well as being a B&B owner, a relocation consultant and a teacher I also have another not-so-secret life - I write successful resume's and give interview guidance.
This is a new branch to my business but with 12 years in Recruitment, a Masters Degree in Human Resources and lots of experience of resume writing (all those I've helped have been offered suitable positions within weeks of producing their new resume) I think it's about time I put those skills to paid practice.
What I'm less good at, is marketing so:
My competition is this:
Come up with a little to no cost marketing idea/campaign for the resume writing or, alternatively for the B&B, and the idea we judge to be the most helpful will win the prize. We can do this via discussions over the phone and by emails and you'll receive a resume up to 4 sides in length in either pdf or adobe format. Your answer might be an idea spelled out in a couple of sentences or a more comprehensive campaign but shouldn't be more than a 500 words.
The prize is your resume professionally updated and up to 4 sides in length. It will be geared towards a job you're actually interested in and, yes, you can donate it to a family member.
It can not, however, be sold on.My websites may help give you ideas:
http://www.newlifeinmelbourne.com.au/services is the relocation business within which I produce resumes and
www.calsplace.com.au is the bed and breakfast website. I have facebook pages set up but haven't done much with them mainly because I'm a bit of a dinosaur and don't know how they work.
So terms and conditions:
Entry by: personal message or by email via the websites but you must give your compingclub username.
Please no clever answers or rhymes, this is a genuine search for help in putting together a marketing campaign.
Requirements: suggest or develop a low/no cost marketing campaign for the Resume Writing Service or for Cal's Place Bed and Breakfast which may be used in marketing one of my businesses.
Open to: members of compingclub.com
Closing date: 11.59pm on Sunday 7 October 2010
Judging: will be by me and my marketing guru, a good friend in business who's given me excellent advice in the past. The winner will be advised by 24 October 2010. The winner must request the prize within 12 weeks of the 16 January 2011 by which time they will supply all the relevant information requested so that the resume can be put together efficiently and quickly so that the work is completed by 30 January 2011.
The Prize: is a professional resume up to 4 sides in length and in adobe or pdf format. It can be donated to a family member but cannot be sold on.
Other Information: All responses will become the property of Cal's Place and New Life in Melbourne and may be used in future marketing.
If you require further information that others might find useful just reply to this competition on compingclub.com.au.
Good luck everyone.
