SkillSniper.com Kicks off 'How I Quit My Job' Video Contest - Steven Slater, JetBlue, to Win Honorary Prize - Ten Cases of Beer


Quitters don’t always win, but here is their chance. An Apple iPad and other prizes are up for grabs. SkillSniper.com, the world’s first and only true skill based job search  site, is kicking off an online video contest starting 9/1/10. The crazy twist is that one of the winners is being announced before the contest starts.


Olathe, KS (PRWEB) September 1, 2010 -- Searching for a job or a new career in the current economy can be stressful, especially with millions of unqualified resumes flooding the internet. SkillSniper.com  is having a little fun and launching a new online video contest entitled “How I Quit My Job”. It will feature contestants telling their stories about how they quit or left a previous job. “We were in the process of putting together details for a video contest about crazy ways people quit their jobs and then the Jet Blue incident happened,” says Gary Hicks, founder and CEO of SkillSniper.com. “With this contest, we thought it would be fitting to award an honorary prize to Mr. Steven Slater of JetBlue Airways.” Steven Slater is the JetBlue flight attendant who recently encountered an unruly passenger, made a statement over the intercom saying he was quitting after 20 years of service, grabbed two beers and slid down the emergency chute and went home. “I have flown a lot and can certainly understand why flight attendants might get fed up with some passengers,” Hicks said. “Hopefully Mr. Slater will throw a party for his friends with this prize, check out some of our video contest entries, and then sign up for a free job seeker account on our website.” SkillSniper will gladly award the honorary prize in the form of any type of gift certificate if requested.

The contest is simple to enter. Entrants will submit short video clips up to one minute in length and tell their story of the craziest, funniest or most creative way they quit or left a previous job. In addition to the prize that Stephen Slater will receive, two other prize winners will be determined by the number of votes they get online. The first place submission will be awarded an iPad. In addition, anyone who doesn't have a video clip entry to submit can still get in on a random drawing and win a prize.
