I saw a story in the news recently about Pasha Stocking, a woman in Bridgeport, CT who thought 'outside the box' and rented a 14 by 48 foot billboard in order to find employment. At $2500 for the advertising, it seems she has drawn a lot of attention. We think we've found a much less expensive way to get attention and find a job with our 'I Need a Job' wristbands!
The jobless rate in the US increased to 10.2 percent in October. The number of unemployed persons increased by 558,000 to 15.7 million. The unemployment rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest rate since April 1983. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has risen by 8.2 million and the unemployment rate has grown by 5.3 percentage points. The largest job losses over the month were in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade. The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over) was little changed over the month at 5.6 million. In October, 35.6 percent of unemployed persons were jobless for 27 weeks or more.
Some sources still expect joblessness to continue to rise this year. Many blogs we have been reading lately concerning unemployment hint that this number could already be higher, based on what they are seeing.
It's safe to say that if you are reading this, you've been affected by this economic crisis in some way, either unemployed, or with friends and/or family members who have been laid off. We can relate, we've been in the same boat ourselves. There is hope!
Of course, you know that finding a job is a full-time job in itself. That's very true. Checking online for job openings, emailing resumes, waiting for interviews, sharpening your job skills, continuing your education, and networking.
Often times success is found in being at the right place at the right time, or meeting the right person. Our wristbands will help you market yourself as you go about your daily routine. They are attention getting conversation starters.
Chance meetings and tourists seeing people wearing wristbands around town and on the beach have opened the door to articles in the Chicago Tribune, Sarasota Herald Tribune, Bradenton Herald, Elkart Truth, the Denver Post, Detroit Free Press as well as an article in the Wall Street Journal! Response has been very favorable to say the least! An interview on the BBC World news has opened the door to UK and the world! Also featured on FOX, "Your World With Neil Cavuto" and CNN.
We've actually had friends and customers find work because of them!

There are many opportunities to strike up a conversation (& FIND A JOB) that you are currently missing! |

Don't get out much? You should! It gets pretty depressing just sitting around the house all the time (it happens to me). Get out and meet people, they might even be hiring. You might find your next job with a conversation struck up while at the gas station or supermarket.
We started giving these wristbands to our friends and family here in Sarasota, then began selling them locally. We've had so many success stories and positive comments we had to put them on their own wristband testimonial page.
So, if you are looking for a job, our 'I Need a Job' wristbands will be an attention getting, inexpensive way to supplement the tried and true methods you are already pursuing!
If you aren't unemployed yourself, these wristbands make great gifts for friends, parents, children - anyone you know who needs a job. We also sell bulk bags of wristbands at a discount (includes free shipping on US orders).
