A Release from Mennen: Speed Stick Offers A Chance for Week-Long Dream Jobs- No Work Experience Required
April 11, 2007

April 2007 (New York, NY)Help wanted. Mennen, the maker of new Speed Stick 24/7 Gametime, is seeking average people for a chance to win one of six one week-long dream jobs that include an exotic test car driver, WWEÒ Timekeeper, supermodel scout, rock band critic, video game reviewer and a stand-up comedian.  Unique to this “job” contest, relevant experience is open to personal interpretation and the desire to succeed trumps all of the usual qualifications.  Everyone will now have the chance to prove high school teachers across the nation wrong and show that they can amount to something on charm and creativity alone.   

Applicants are offered the chance to apply on www.guymennen.com, a satirical self-help website that teaches the “philosophy” of brand ambassador and life coach Guy Mennen.  With a simple video application, hopefuls are encouraged to demonstrate originality, desire for the job and quirky personal qualifications.

Candidates can also enter in-person when the Guy Mennen Sweet Smell of Success mobile job office rolls into select cities.  This national tour is designed to feel more like a fun night out than a job contest.  It features four dream job training centers that allow individuals to brave corners at high speeds in an exotic car simulator, pose with a beautiful model for a mock cover of Maxim, call a WWE match and rock on stage for a game of name that tune.  In addition, sexy Gametime girls will be roaming the job office encouraging entrants to create their video application on-site. 

“Our brand is about helping the average person achieve success so we turned the interview process upside down to give them an equal chance to win their dream job experience,” said Anu Sehgal, associate brand manager for Colgate- Palmolive Company. 

Each candidate may enter for one of the six week-long dream jobs beginning on April 5, 2007. Applications must be started by July 20, 2007 and complete contest entries must be submitted by July 31, 2007. Six winners will be awarded dream job prizes on or about September 1, 2007.  Each dream job lasts one work week and will occur within the timeframe of October 2, 2007 and November 15, 2007.  Prizes are not offers for current or future employment. The contest is only open to U.S. residents 21 and over.
