Yet another announcement (BUT you SHOULD read this).

Writing about career is never easy. It is for this reason that we take brainstorming sessions seriously (although we don't undergo such brain exercises anymore due to a very busy schedule). To write "effectively" for a specific set of audience is to catch the interest of these people. Which means, it won't be proper to just go for whichever topic comes to mind -- everything around this blog is supposed to be communal.

Okay, we're ranting. We can't help it -- ranting is the best way there is to start a post about announcements. Ranting sets a conversational mood and well, it's what we want. Anyway, we have lots of things to announce, so we'll end the useless rambling now and start with the important stuff. Are you ready?

You probably know this already, but we haven't formally announced our Inspiring Working Mothers contest here. So have you already nominated your mom or someone that you know that is deserving for the title? Participating is easy:

1) Nominate someone.
2) Once your entry is up, it’s time to rally for friends and family to vote for your candidate at before 9 May, 17 00hrs.
3) Nominees at “Hall of Fame” with the most number of votes and comments qualifies for JobsDB.com 100 Inspiring Working Mothers!

3D2N Bangkok trip for 2 worth $500, 2D1N Cameron Highland trip for 2 worth $300, 2D1N Malacca trip for 2 worth $200, and other great prizes are at stake. More info can be read at http://engage.sg.jobsdb.com/SG/mothers-day/how-to-win/. We'll be waiting for your entries!
