Hi all,

Caption required for new design of a Job search website we are upgrading / working on:- www.redgoldfish.co.uk

Prize $100 USD

The ideal caption would either be focused on the fact that it's a "Job Search Engine for Jobs" or be a play on the "Fish" theme which we like.

Competitor Market Examples in use include:-
"Job Search Engine"
"All the best jobs in one place"
"Find Work fast"
"Search Engine for Jobs"
"one search, all jobs"
"Job Search made simple"

We need something that's not so boring BUT at the same time hits the message home that the site contains "a massive number of jobs from all over the internet, is easy to use, is a job search engine"

So far the best captions we have are:-

"Cast your net wider to hook the right job"
"Easy swimming through a Healthy Database of Jobs"
"Trawling the Net to Catch the best jobs" - Our favourite so far

Can anyone come up with a better alternative?

Thanks in advance

Rich
Color Scheme: red gold   Type of Design: Other   Desired Dimensions: any   Desired Filetypes: text msword   Prize: $100   How prize will be delivered: PayPal   End Date: 30th June 2007

Surely you'd want something shorter, such as "baiting better jobs"

or... "Don't trawl the net - bait better jobs here". Something comparative.

Like your chain of thought...

Not sure about the use of the word bait?
"Don't trawl the net - Catch better jobs here".

Youre right about keeping it short, problem is keeping it both short and effective?

Good try

i tried to visit the site but it threw up an error code. anyway my Idea.
"just got tanked find a better job" get it ha ha ha ha ha tanked OK it's not that funny but it's fishy.

i see your site is a uk address I'm sure you know but in america tanked is a slang word for fired.

"Just been sacked? Plenty more jobs in the sea"

"be the bigger fish with (company name)"

I agree about being able to just use the caption though without paying?

no if it shows up on his site then we can sue because of this thread being here with him holding a contest. it's proof that who ever he picks wrote the quote.

"Tackling employers for you"

But, TBH, they're all really similar. I would've chosen a few different ones and rotated them.

Hi all,

Very good so far... like a few of them

Neo - like it but cant use due to fish4jobs - too close
seolman - "schooled in job opportunities" - I like that!

Keep them coming, lets nail this.

- If a caption here is used be assured that the $100 USD prize wont be an issue. Based on the current strong £ to USD rate i can currently get a massive 2 times my money so it will cost me less than £50 to run this contest and its worth a punt. With so many here someone may come up with something original and something that makes an impact on future business - well worth it.

"Freshly stocked ready for YOU!"
"Fishing for jobs"
"NET-WORK for you"
"Biggest catch of the job"

There are some. I think the third one is the best.

“redgoldfish, where your next catch can be your future.”

I’m a little confused do you want a logo to go with it?
