Today’s HP Magic Giveaway sites is One Day, One Job. Bear in mind that each site will have their own requirements for the giveaway, and they may also have their own rules that will not apply on other sites.
Here’s a quick synopsis of today’s giveaway site’s details…
The challenge is simple.
Help a friend with his or her job search. Leave a comment on this post telling us your friendâs first name and exactly how you helped him or her.
Your entry can be as simple as telling us that you e-mailed someone a link to One Day, One Job, or as involved as telling us how you edited and improved a friendâs resume. Weâre looking for creativity and a genuine willingness to help (and ideas that we can use in the course that weâre developing), so weâre going to reward those of you who try harder. Entries will be graded on a scale of 0 (so unhelpful that you donât even get an entry) to 10 (bending over backwards to get your friend a job), and each point will be equal to one entry in the contest.
We donât expect you to land someone a job in just a few daysâ time – thatâs nearly impossible (but if you can do it, go for it). We just want you to lend a helping hand to someone who can use it, whether you already have a job or youâre also looking. The average score will be a 1 or 2, so there will be a huge premium for in-depth/creative/bend over backwards entries.
At the end of the contest, weâll assign numbers to each entry and use Microsoft Excelâs random number generator to select a winner.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Since youâve already found a friend in need, youâll be expected to give part of your prize package to the friend whom you helped, since without him or her, you wouldnât have won.
For the rest of the rules, check out the One Day, One Job site.
As always, if you enter on another site we would appreciate you letting them know that we sent you. We would also love to hear back if you are the winner; we love âhappy endingâ stories! ![]()

Recently, my girlfriend resigned from her work. Feeling a bit down about it, I tried to cheer her up by helping her with updating her resume. We made it more colorful and cheery like a Web 2.0 design, and it was inspired by one of many creative resumes we both searched online.
Not only that, but we also applied online to a lot of companies hiring a bookkeeper/accountant. She really got into it, and has recently been interviewed by one of the Business Process Outsourcing companies here in our city. We’re both hoping that this company is the one for her. It hasn’t been easy for her, but overall she’s made some new friends, and reconnected with old ones from her previous work.
I’m very proud of her, and I firmly believe that in whatever she does, she’d really show what she can do the only way she knows how – the best.

Since I didn’t add it to my entry, I’ll just add it here.
This was the best entry for the HP Magic Giveaway that I’ve entered, and probably funner (is that a word) than the HP Dragon contest from last year.
Thanks for coming up with the winning contest, Judie.
