In case you were away from the TV getting your third plate of food (or, let’s be honest, opening up another bag of chips so you could eat bean dip straight from the jar), you might have missed some of the commercials. This year, CareerBuilder did something different from our usual big reveal during the game. We held a contest where anyone could submit a commercial idea to us and we’d pick the winner. We narrowed it down to three and let everyone vote on which should air during the game. And the winner was…”Casual Friday!” In case you missed out or want to watch it again, here it is:

If you want to see the other two commercials that didn’t air, check out our YouTube channel.

To recap, CareerBuilder is looking to job seekers to create its next Super Bowl commercial. If you win, CareerBuilder will produce your ad, send you on a trip for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the commercial and air it during Super Bowl XLIV.

Oh, and don’t forget about the $100,000 “paycheck” — or the $50,000 runner-up prize.

If you’re interested, before NEXT FRIDAY, JULY 3, go to http://www.hiremytvad.com/ and submit a 25-second video of your idea. Applications will be judged on: creativity, originality, entertainment value, performance level, humor and alignment with the CareerBuilder brand.

Good luck!

That’s right. CareerBuilder is looking to job seekers to create its next TV spot because, after all, who knows job search better than the job seekers themselves?

If you win, CareerBuilder will produce your ad, send you on a trip for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the commercial and air it during Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010. Oh, and did we mention the $100,000 “paycheck”? Or the $50,000 runner-up prize?

All you have to do is go to http://www.hiremytvad.com/ and submit a 25-second video of your idea. Applications will be judged on: creativity, originality, entertainment value, performance level, humor and alignment with the CareerBuilder brand.

The commercial, depicting surefire signals that it’s time to start building a better work situation, features CareerBuilder’s signature use of humor.

“We know there are a lot of people out there who are feeling anxious about the job market,” said Richard Castellini, chief marketing officer at CareerBuilder.com.

“Our recent job forecast found that, despite a tough economy, 14 percent of employers say they will be hiring full-time employees in 2009 and additionally, 19 percent say they plan to increase their online recruitment spending. We’re connecting workers with those opportunities and offering advice, with a wink and a nod, to help job seekers with some important decisions.”

The ad is part of an integrated campaign, developed by Wieden+Kennedy, includes new TV spots, print and online advertising and a viral component.

Reinforcing the company’s brand and tagline — START BUILDING — the campaign positions CareerBuilder.com as more than a place for good jobs, but as a partner that can help job seekers build their careers.

Read the entire press release here and stay tuned for the viral campaign…
