The Hip-Hop Job Search Quote Contest (facebook exclusive)

It’s no secret that my musical taste has been swayed onto team Hip-Hop over the last few years. I guess at some point, current rock dropped me off at the park, and somehow forgot to pick me up. When I needed a ride back, Jay-Z was there to show me the way home, and rap won over my heart.

After this transformation took place, I focused in on the clever and inspirational lyrics in rap songs.  I began realizing that not all rap is about drugs, murder, 20 inch rims, and objectifying woman.  OK, time to stop blabbing and announce the damn thing…

The Hip-Hop Quote Contest (a Facebook exclusive)

There are millions of inspirational quotes in rap songs, many of them relating directly to the job search or careers.  It’s now your job to find them, and post these quotes on the Corn On The Job Facebook wall! Oh, and the cash prize amount is infinite!  More details on that below.

Step 1 – Join the Corn on The Job Facebook Page – CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE FACEBOOK PAGE!!!

Each Facebook page member is allowed 2 submissions, and the point scale works like this:

• Inspirational Hip-Hop Quote – 1 Points
• Job Search or Career Hip-Hop Quote – 3 Points

Step 2 – Submit your quote to the Corn on the Job Facebook Page wall.  The quote should be at least two lines of a song.  This part is flexible, just make sure it’s not only a few words that you use or I’ll reject it.  State the artist and song that the quote comes from.  Explain the quote to ensure that you receive credit.  However many points you have is how many pieces of paper will have your name in my hat!  Simple, right?  But, wait, there’s more!
