Web Contest to Find Out Who Has the Toughest Job in America? Applicants Show and Tell Their Story; America to Pick Winner Online.
United States of America (Press Release) March 26, 2008 --
What is the toughest job in America? The Working Person’s Store and Wolverine Boots Shoes Apparel and Gear today announced the “Toughest Jobs in America” competition to find and recognize the person doing that job.
“From steel mills to construction sites; from firefighters to nurses, we recognize and honor the people doing the work that keeps America running,” said Eric Deniger, CEO of Working Person’s Store. “The Toughest Jobs competition gives people an opportunity to send us a video or photo, and tell us about what they do and why it’s important. The finalists will actually be posted at our WorkingPerson.com site where visitors from all over America will get a chance to see the entrants and pick the winner by popular vote.”
The winner of the Toughest Jobs competition will have a video featured in a future WorkingPerson.com commercial and receive a complete “work wear makeover” valued at over $1,000 courtesy of Wolverine, the co-sponsor of the national event.
“We’re proud to partner with the Working Person’s Store in sponsoring the Toughest Jobs in America competition,” said John Estes, National Sales Manager of Wolverine. “Wolverine has a long history of providing working people with sturdy, high-performance footwear and apparel that helps them get the job done. It’s an honor for us to recognize their hard work, and the contribution they make to our country’s prosperity and security.”
Deniger added, “Our technology partners at AVID Commerce are handling the website “backend magic” needed to handle all the videos and photos, as well as the infrastructure that will allow our visitors to vote for the winner, in a secure online environment.
