Congratulations to Alex Payne, a recent graduate of Duke University. He won the iPod Touch in our Tell a Friend, Win an iPod Touch Contest. You may remember Alex from our article on Using Facebook Ads for Job Search, as he was one of the initial participants in the experiment. His number was picked randomly by Microsoft Excel’s Random Number Generator, but we have to say that we’re happy to see him win.
Overall, the number of entries in the contest was a bit disappointing. We had to disqualify a few people for trying to game the system, but most of the people who entered did a great job of telling their friends about us. We think that either the contest was too confusing or all of you already have iPods.
We still think that contests are a great way to get you more involved, but we aren’t going to give away sweet prizes to get low turnout. So we want to hear from you. What should we do for our next contest? What types of prizes would you like to see (something related to your job search)? How can we take One Day, One Job from a great resource to a thriving community for job seekers to share tips and ideas?

Thanks! You have some really great contacts with Resume writers, interview gurus, and headhunters. Maybe a reader could win some of their services or a book. Or better yet what if a reader was given the chance to read and review the book (from a recent college person’s perspective) on your blog?
