Share | Earlier today, Standard Chartered’s Breeze Team announced the winner of the World’s Coolest Intern contest they launched the couple of months ago. Aman Narain ‘s Breeze team were look`g to hire an intern to help promote the bank’s new iPhone mobile bank`g application us`g social media & in particular their blog , youtube & twitter . Instead of us`g traditional recruitment methods such as post`g the job opening on the Standard Chartered website or ask`g the recruitment agency to search 4 suitable candidates, Aman decided to experiment & try someth`g different. & after all, the new recruit`ld focus on social media right? The results R outstanding: over 1,000 social media enthusiasts from all over the world entered the contest! As the matter of fact, the results R so overwehlm`g Z chances R we`ll C more similar contests from Standard Chartered in the near future. ;) I wouldn’t B surprised if the bank`s plann`g to use the same approach to find the replacement to the winner, the la ‘ Young & Free Alberta ‘ where Severus Credit Union invites young graduates to submit their application to become their spokeperson for 12 month. The most popular candidate (highest number of votes from the public) wins the contest. All the contestants showed so much energy & creativity overall.
