HELP A NEW MEMBER OUT. VOTE FOR THIS VIDEO.

Times are tough, and some of us get creative when we have to find ways to pay for food and rent.

Here’s a superbly amusing video that one of our newest members (a former New Yorker) recently wrote, directed and filmed — and entered into a competition for a $1,000 prize. The video is titled “Who Wants to Not Be Unemployed” and it’s about a job interview that turns highly competitive.

Please vote for the video on this site (scroll down till you find it; it’s the fourth one). It’s presently in fifth place but, from viewing the other entries, we think it’s the best by far. Unfortunately, contests are often won by those who can round up the most friends to vote, not who has the best entry in the competition.

Voting continues through June 4th. The interesting backstory on the making of the video is below.
