Guess my job – win a Zune!

Caleb Jenkins

Update: The Contest is now over. Thank you to everyone that participated! Results are here! The Winner is here: Congratulations Dave!

I’m serious about this.

When I was at Microsoft I won an internal contest that scored me a Zune… but I already own one. Unlike Gio, I’ve had no issues with mine and I like it! 🙂 But since it’s been Giovanni trying to get me to spill the beans on my new place of work, I thought it would be more fun to make a game of it.

So here’s the deal. Over the last couple of days I’ve sprinkled tidbits and hints about the sort of work that I am now doing. Over the next couple of days I will produce a hint (or more) a day for 10 days.

“Rules”

  1. I reserve the right to change or make up any rule at anytime.
  2. If you already know the company that I am now working for… then you cannot participate. (Or at least you can, but you cannot win, and it probably wouldn’t be as much fun for you anyways. 😉
  3. You can guess as often as you like, but only for 1 company at a time.
  4. All guesses must be in the form of a blog comment
  5. After the 10th day; the person that guessed the correct place will get the Zune (I will deliver it myself or pay for shipping)
  6. If more than one person guesses correctly, then I will gather all of the correct guesses and randomly draw from those. The person that guessed the correct place first will receive 3 entries in the hat to give them higher odds of winning.
  7. You will also get an extra entry for guessing correctly and posting your guess, a link to my blog, and the company that you guessed on your blog/website. (post a comment with the link)
  8. Game Starts today (February 4th, 2007 – Super Bowl Sunday) and end in 10 days (Midnight on Valentines Day)
  9. Update #1: Since I allow anonymous comments, make sure you include your name in your comment. 🙂

Hint #1

I am working for a company that is headquartered in Dallas, TX

Happy Hunting!

  1. My first guess is the terrific consulting company from your past – Geniant. It’s probably not right, but just my first guess. 🙂

  7. I can tell that Giovanno *really* wants to win that Zune. 🙂 BTW – You are incredibly close with that one, but it would have been the other Dress Barn. 😉
