ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Jobseekers in central Florida are being
asked to put their unemployment blues to music.
A talent show called "Careereoki" is asking entrants to submit
videos in which they sing about their desired career.
The winner of the contest - which is run by Workforce Central
Florida, Orange County Public Schools and an advertising agency -
will receive a scholarship for career training and get to shadow
someone who works in their chosen career path. He or she will also
win a gas card, a resume makeover and a gift card for a personal
makeover.
Videos will be accepted until Sunday.
