New Winner of the TerryTop iPad 3 Contest

8:33 am | Palo Alto University, Student Genius | No comment

Please join me in congratulating Antonia Jose-Davis, the winner of the Student Genius Terry Top iPad 3 Contest.

Antonia Jose-Davis

Antonia is a full time student at Palo Alto University focusing in Business Psychology. She is currently working as a professional hairstylist at Supercuts.

Here is how she describes herself in her Student Genius Profile: “Supporting others is what I do best. Sharing my knowledge and experiences so others can be as successful if not even more so. There is nothing that I cannot accomplish. Always open to learning and gaining more experience. There is never such a thing as knowing too much.”

Terry Top was very excited about her business ideas and looks forward to implement them soon.

Antonia joins the five other students who have won our previous contests.

Also, stay tuned to our Facebook page where we are about to launch a new version of our Contests. We are very excited about this one.

Yesterday we announced that thanks to our friends at Terry Top, the iPad 3 Contests will live on. This contest runs through March 26th. Click here for details and enter today!

Purpose of the Contest:

1) Give Students Experience: every student that enters the contest and shows what they can create is building their own profile/portfolio. In addition, they will be spreading the word about the Movement Against Student Unemployment so more students can get experience and get hired. They will also get experience by helping Terry Top grow their business.

2) Get Students Hired: every student that enters the contest will be showing what they can create to Terry Top who plans to invite at least one of the participants to join their team this summer as an intern (see details below). In addition, students can use their profiles to share with any potential employer, etc…

Rob Duffin, co-founder & President of Terry Top said, “I’m so excited to give students opportunities to showcase what they can create. And I plan to invite at least one of the entrants to the contest to join my team.

You now have the choice to either record a Video Resume directly from your computer or, you can choose to upload a video.

If you upload a video, you will need to be patient for the video to upload and then once it’s complete you will see an image signifying the video is not available. This means the video is being processed. After a few seconds, refresh your screen and your uploaded video should be ready.

We will proceed describing the option to “Record Video Now”. Click on the red button.

Student Genius without a mustache ends up Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

2:23 pm | Student Genius | No comment

So I posted our logo icon without a mustache today as our profile pic on Facebook, Twitter, and Google +.

Student Genius

We want this version of our logo icon to symbolize the MOVEMENT AGAINST STUDENT UNEMPLOYMENT.  So, I asked the community what they thought the no mustache look symbolized. Here is the response I got:

mustache discussion

Apparently, Ryan Innes thought a beard would be better than a mustache. And then within a few minutes, check out what Lorne Sleem created for us!

SG Logo

At least now we don’t have to be pinched for the rest of the day.

And if you were wondering why we took off the mustache, we took off the mustache to symbolize the current state of where we are as students. Our voice is not being heard. Did you get that? Let me try it again.

Our voice is not being heard!

Let’s all work hard and show employers what we can create on our canvases so we can put on the biggest student talent show in history!
