A Pleasant Surprise.

On the 18th January I received a tweet from Paul Wilkinson stating that he had nominated me for a Be2award for Best AEC Marketing Campaign.

I was very surprised. Very surprised indeed. The nomination was for my plight back in February 2010 to get my self a job when I found myself unemployed.

With the help of some good friends and a vast online network of people with whom I interact with, I was successful in finding a job.

Chin Up Old boy.

It started with a simple honest blog post called ‘Chin up old boy’, which described my emotions and told of the affect unemloyment was having on my home life, and ended somewhere around ‘And the winner is’ where I chose which company I was going to work for, I had after all, managed to get 2 job offers on the table…wth the help of Social Media.

And if you read those two blog posts, and the ones inbetween, then you will be able to follow what happened, and read as the story unfolds…it was quite mad at times!!

‘X’ to vote!

So, to vote then. Right, well if you click here, and then scroll down to the link to Best AEC Marketing Campaign, and follow from there to vote. Please note, the voting opens today at 9am. Voting closes midnight on the 7th February. The winner is announced on the 9th February.

To be honest, it would be nice if you did vote for me, cos I would love to win. Although there maybe another person, with a better campaign out there, I would still like to win.

You see, the winner gets a nice badge to put on their website….and as much as it would look great on the home page of this website….it would look so much nicer on this one!

If you do happen to cast a vote, then I would like to take this opportunity to say a big ‘Thank you’.
