Kicking things off for you! Does it count if you're already linked on my blog!? I'd love to have a card from WalMart! Thanks!
Good luck with the job hunt John! I linked to you from my blog. I'd love Applebee's!
Oh boy, that's a tough choice. I guess I'd choose Applebees. Or Dunkin' Donuts. (Did I spell that right?)
please enter me, i'd love to win from target!
Would love to win!
APPLEBEES PLEASE!
John - here's hoping you can get a job soon!!
I'm a fan of about ANYTHING when it comes to giftcards. Probably would be good to have something we could use towards baby products.
First I choose Target.
Second, I totally understand. there was a time that my dh was out of work when the company decided to closed three offices in two states. It was at Christmas time too. I don't have any major recommendations except that my dh just got a great job with Farmer's Insurance. Not selling insurance but as a claim adjuster on homes. It pays well, he gets a company car plus free gas. You must have a degree in anything to qualify. Most states have offices except for Hawaii, Flordia and Lousiana. He was also told if he was willing to move out of state in the future that there are more opportunities. You should be able to go to their website under careers. Again good luck!
Wal-Mart is my choice--thanks for stopping by!
Hi John.
I totally understand where you are coming from. My husband is searching for a job also. Good luck to you!

I'm going to post a link from my giveaway. Where are you located? That's definitely a tough place to find work these days. Fingers crossed for you.
Hope you find a job soon, it's really a rough time to be unemployed =/ If I were to win, I have to say I'd want the GC to be for Dunkin' Donuts. I can't resist their maple glazed donuts ;)
I like WalMart. Good luck with the job hunt. I know it's tough.
Good luck in your search. I think this is a great idea.
Oh, and Starbucks please. :)
I'd love a card to Target!! Thanks!
Target would be great.
Good luck with the job search.
Good luck to you...sounds like things are looking up! I'd love the starbucks card!
I'd take either the applebees or chili's card. Good luck on your job search!

I'd love to win a gift card. My hubby is out of work as well, good idea to do a resume on a blog like that!
A Starbucks card would be much enjoyed.
Good luck on your job hunt! I hope it turns out positively!

jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com
I'll pick Walmart.
Good luck with your job search! It's so tough to be unemployed, especially when you have children. A few years back, my husband was laid off when our middle son was 2 weeks old. We had an awful time, but it eventually got better and I'm sure it will for you as well. Hang in there!
I hope you find a job soon! My fiance was laid off last September because he's an electrician and the indurstry has been slow. He found another job in March, but we're worried that once they finish their project he'll be laid off again! I hope the right job finds you soon and I wish you luck in your search!
walmart gift card please
blogged ya here

Target :)
John, I read your blog, and best wishes with your job search--good job casting the net wide with this. I'm sure you'll find the right job for you soon. I don't have a blog to cross-post on, but if you haven't signed up on LinkedIn or Plaxo or even Facebook, consider doing that--it's another way to be connected and try to see where some of your existing contacts might lead you. Keep us posted!

Good luck with your search, John. I worked for a homebuilder until late last year. Something good will happen for you. Great idea to create a blog!
I'd choose Target or WalMart.
I have to say, very clever idea to boost your chances to find a great job. Good luck to you!
Oh and I'd pick Dunkin Donuts, thanks!
A Walmart GC would be great, and best of luck to you in your job search! You sound intelligent and have lots of great experience. I would hire you, if I owned a company or did the hiring for one.
I hope you get a job soon.

Target! I love you, Random Generator!
Best of luck to you in your job search. If chosen, I'd like to win the Wal-Mart card.
i love your blog! i'd like Wal-Mart please!
I'd love a walmart card, and I really hope you find a job soon. This is a GREAT idea and I hope you get a lot of exposure. Sounds like it's already helping some!
Target.
This is a brilliant blog, and idea. My husband is practically in the same boat, but a completely different field. If I can figure out a good angle I might post you later this week.(I will comment to let you know if I do)
May you be blessed for your efforts.
Ah, Target - where I do all of my shopping. I'd love to have a gift card there!
I blogged about you! Over at http://livingsmartinacrazyworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/bloggy-giveaways.html
I think I'd like the Target gift card if I won... Although I think any of them would be wonderful (except Dunkin' Donuts and only because there isn't one anywhere close to where I am... )
I can sympathize with you on looking for a job. I have been looking for about 2 years now. I hope things start to look up for you. I would like a Target card if I win the giveaway. Thanks.
Jennafer211@aol.com
Good luck with your search, John. I hope that your wife telling you that you were going to be a part of the bloggy giveaway will help you reach more people.
If I were chosen to win I'd love either the Starbucks or the Target gift card.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I wish I could be of help to you. I read your blog & wish you the best. If I win, please surprise your wife by giving the gift card to her.
Well what a way to start your blog. I added your link to my blog (under sites i like), I know how frustrating it is to try and find a job. I hope it comes quickly for you :). and as for a gift certificate I'm not sure I think I'd have to choose Walmart.

I too know your frustration of finding a decent paying job. I have been a stay at home mother for almost 14 years. Before I married I managed doctor's office in WInter Park, FL made about 45,000 working only 3 days a week. We live lin a pretty low paying jobless market here in Pensacola, FL. I am going through a divorce and have been trying to find a decent paying job for four months only to be told I have no current work experience. Where does that lead me having to work at Walmart for 8.00 an hour I can't support myself and two children on that. WIhsing you great success in your search and interviews. Thank-you for the contest I would love to win a Target GC to buy some school supplies or clothing for my children.
I'd totally love a Chili's GC. Good luck with your job search.
Good luck with your job search, I know how tough it is right now. Thanks so much for the giveawy, I would choose Target if I won!
great blog and great contest. i'd have to go with target
It is not in your field but the Marine Base in Barstow (MCB) is making a whole bunch of emergency hires right now.
I would like a Wal-Mart card please.
I would love a Target or Chili's gift card.
Sorry, that's Barstow, CA. MCB means maintenance center Barstow. The department of the navy may have the jobs filed under MCLB (Marine Corps Logistics Base).
John - I don't have a blog, but I will keep you in mind if I hear of anything! My prayers are with you and your family during this time! Oh, and I like Starbucks! :oP
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!
