Over here in Oregon, one in ten people are unemployed. The job market is super tough in the Pacific Northwest. That’s exactly the reason Monster.com launched their Success Stories campaign. They want to let people know that even in a challenging economy, dads and moms are still finding great jobs on Monster. The Monster multimedia campaign is an effort to encourage hope and optimism through the sharing of successful job-search stories and practical advice. And if you submit a career tip or success story to the Monster community, you will be entered in the iPad giveaway on my dad blog (thank you, Monster.com). I’m actually jealous because I can’t win the super cool Apple iPad. Not fair!

Monster.com Success Stories

There are three steps to enter my Apple iPad giveaway:

  1. Submit a career tip or a success story to the Monster community
  2. Tag your submission with Daddy Forever
