Make CareerBuilder’s next TV ad, earn $100k
CareerBuilder is looking to you to make its next Super Bowl ad … and will give you $100,000 to do it!
That’s right. CareerBuilder is looking to job seekers to create its next TV spot because, after all, who knows job search better than the job seekers themselves?
If you win, CareerBuilder will produce your ad, send you on a trip for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the commercial and air it during Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010. Oh, and did we mention the $100,000 “paycheck”? Or the $50,000 runner-up prize?
All you have to do is go to http://www.hiremytvad.com/ and submit a 25-second video of your idea. Applications will be judged on: creativity, originality, entertainment value, performance level, humor and alignment with the CareerBuilder brand.

After being unemployed for over two years, I landed a full-time job with benefits during the recession. Normally I would consider myself the luckiest man on earth but here’s the catch: I have to commute two hours each way to and from work. I’ll probably end up moving but right now I get a LOT of reading done on the train, ferry and bus.

I have appeared publicly and have a long, successful senior executive career. I’d welcome the opportunity to appear in this commercial.

Being unemployed in 2006-2007 and again due to the economy in 2009 being over 50 makes it incredibly challenging especially when most places are looking for less costly labor. What is the definition of the CareerBuilder brand?

I am a 69 year old 80% disabled Viet-Nam Veteran who has been forced to return to the job market after being financially raped (to the tune of $500,000) by insurance companies and credit card companies. My daughter was killed in a car accident. The insurance voided payment by sending my preimum back and had it dated by the post office the day prior to her death. I lost “Gadbury vs. Womack, Marion County Superior Court 1999″ based on the “Mail-Box” Rule. Imediately my home owners insurance rate and credit card interest rates trippled because of poor credit score created by the insurance company. I am finding it difficult to find employment because no one want to hire a Senior Citizen. I am healthier now than when I was thirty and prescription drug free.

Never give up on the job search as I am now in a job I found on the Career Builder website for over a year now and yes it ia a career type job. I thank Career Builder’s email daily notification system of jobs that fit my qualifications for alerting me to my current job.

I always feel like when one opportunity ends this is an opportunity to start a new chapter. Even though I have been laid off for a few months I am looking at this time as an opportunity to find something else or create something I would enjoy doing. As a human being we learn to adapt to our circumstances. The great thing is we have tools like Career Builder to help us find the next opportunity. It is up to us to make ourselves valuable to the company that is hiring. What an exciting time to move on to something new!
