Help Wanted Section -- Web 2.0 Style

OK, we all have agreed that the social web is going to change the way companies communicate with customers. Here is yet another example demonstrating that the social web also started influencing the way companies hire people: Murphy Goode Winery is looking for a "Murphy-Goode Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent.”

Among other things, the winery states that "the most important part of your application is a 60 second (or less) video in English, created by you that shows why you are the best person for the job and exhibits your ability to communicate. It should be entertaining. We are looking for a video that demonstrates your storytelling, personal presentation, video production skills, creative content, enthusiasm, knowledge of Murphy-Goode wines and the Sonoma County Wine Country."

Well, that's a long way from providing writing samples. If you want the job, you have until June 5 to apply. If you get the job and did so because you read this, please send me a case at your convenience. Cheers.
