Bucks County Job Seekers Invited to Enter 'Make Me Over' Contest

One lucky Bucks County job seeker will win a brand-new laptop computer, resume writing help, free physical fitness classes and more as part of Recruitment Queen’s BIG! Make Me Over Contest.

To enter, Bucks County residents who are at least 18 years old and actively looking for a job or new career must submit a creative and compelling video up to 90 seconds long highlighting the need for the makeover. Deadline for entry is Aug. 8. Following a public voting round on all the videos, a winner will be crowned at the BIG! Bucks County Career Fair on Sept. 9 at the Sheraton Hotel in Langhorne.

“On average, job seekers spend 11 to 15 hours a week looking for a job,” RecruitmentQueen CEO Jennifer Schultz said. “This can be a challenge if they are pursuing an education most of the time or working part time somewhere until they can find that full time job.”
