iPod touch Winner Announced - Thanks for
Your Feedback!

Congratulations to Jennifer Robbins of Oakland, Maine for recently being selected at random to win an iPod touch after completing our annual employment survey! What does Jennifer like most about site?

"I really like the variety of search engines that are available to narrow your search by category and/or town and save valuable time. The extensive "new job" listings by town have proven to be an extremely valuable tool in matching my needs with potential employers. I have had several job interviews via JobsInME.com and I search your website daily. I am both hopeful and confident that the perfect job awaits me on JobsInME.com. Thank you for doing a great job on behalf of all the job seekers in Maine and other states!"

Congratulations Jennifer and thank you and all who participated in our user survey. JobsInVT.com, Vermont's number one employment resource, will implement your feedback to help provide you with an even better user experience.

In closing, it's a message like the following one from another job seeker that lets us know that we're on the right track:

"I updated my resume and the next day had a message from an employer who had found my resume with your resume searcher. Within a week, I had a job offer in hand. I could not believe how easy your site made the process of signing up, posting multiple resumes and communicating with interested employers. Kudos! I recommend your site all the time to people who tell me, 'Jeez, I'd look for a new job, but the market is so bad.' They hear my story and I hope they head right to your site!"

MacBook Contest Winner Announced

Jennifer Gosselin of Vermont - our lucky MacBook contest winner - is happy to report that she recently landed a job with a former employer. Back when she was actively looking for work, Gosselin used JobsInVT.com daily, performing job searches by county.

"We didn't have a computer in the house and we've always wanted a laptop. It was so nice to win this, especially right before the Christmas holiday!" Jennifer said.

Gosselin said she really appreciated how easy the site was to use and how quickly she could see all of the jobs listed in her county. She stated she also liked the fact that many employers would keep job information on the site for more than just a few days or a few weeks which allowed her to look back at jobs she had previously applied to, for quick reference.

Congratulations Jennifer - for winning the MacBook and for getting re-hired! Looks like it's going to be a good year.
