Kent Messenger Story
Here is the story from the Kent Messenger. You can see the story click here
For sale online - me!
by Mary Graham
A man has put himself up for sale on eBay in a bid to find work.
Andy Palmer, 30, of Plains Avenue, Maidstone, has taken the bold step of advertising himself for sale – or rather his labour for a month.
He was made redundant from a business development role with Northern Rock, in August. Despite finding temporary contracts, permanent work has eluded him.
As well as taking more traditional job-hunting routes by contacting recruitment agencies, Mr Palmer, a qualified mortgage adviser, hit upon the idea of auctioning himself online to bargain hunters.
He has also posted his CV as a blog, in a bid to make his skills stand out.
Under his eBay listing "Hire a Fantastic Employee for a Month", he states he is prepared to do any work, for a month, as long as he is trained and it does not involve sex or illegal activities.
A starting bid of £1,000 has been set for his labours, and 25 per cent of the final sale price will go to the NSPCC charity.
Mr Palmer describes himself as hard working, enthusiastic and willing to learn. For a link to his eBay auction, see www.findanemployee.blogspot.com.

How To Find A Great Employee
Hello and welcome to my blog,
In this current economic climate it is difficult to find work. Also with the higher numbers of people looking for work it is difficult to find an employee.
It is possible to use a recruitment agency and that will save a lot of time when searching for an employee. However there is a cost associated with that and time, which an employer may not have.
I am in the process of looking for work and I thought rather than just going to agencies and applying for jobs the normal way, maybe I should try something different.
So in the next post I will give a bit of background of what I can bring to a role and then my C.V. details.
Fingers crossed for an interview.
You can contact me at findanemployee@jumpatthechance.co.uk
