About the Winner

I stumbled across this idea while helping my teenage daughter get a job last Fall. It's called Application Bling and it is a repositionable sticker or "cling" that job seekers apply to job applications that highlights their best qualties and goals.

Similar to how a cover letter compliments a resume, Application Bling compliments a handwritten job application and makes it get noticed in a pile of others all looking the same. Plus Application Bling shows the prospective employer that the candidate put in the extra effort to get the job ~ effort that they will likely put forth into the job. It shows they have initiative and goals.

By visiting ApplicationBling.com, job seekers can customize wording, color, and background design online and order a set of 12 for under $20. Targeting primarily to teens, tweens, college age kids and their parents, our website and facebook page also offer tips and blogs on finances and getting hired as well as other topics important to teens and their parents/guardians.
