Think Your Job is Tough?

When the going gets tough, the tough get rewarded - big time. For the second year in a row, Berks and Beyond Employment Services, Inc., the "Official Employment Service of the Reading Royals," will bestow a check for $1,000 - and the title "Toughest Job in Berks County" - upon the entrant who submits a video of himself performing the most physically or mentally challenging (or just plain dirtiest) job in Berks County.

The contest kicks-off during the Reading Royals' opening night game on October 15th and continues through March 5th, 2010. Berks and Beyond will announce this year's winner on March 18th, 2010 during the Royals hockey game.

To enter, contestants must submit a brief video (one minute or less) of themselves on the job, explaining why they have the toughest job in Berks County. The winning entry will be selected by Berks and Beyond employees. Videos must be received by March 5th, 2010. For complete Contest Rules, please visit the Berks and Beyond website.

Last February, Chris Garner, President of Berks and Beyond Employment Services, Inc., presented Dave Herb with $1,000 at the Reading Royals Hockey game for his winning entry in the Toughest Job in Berks Contest.

Please note that this video was edited by Berks and Beyond for use on their website - videos will be judged based upon the jobs themselves, not video production quality.

"I'm truly excited to team-up with Berks and Beyond again this year. This contest is our way of thanking the hard-working men and women in Berks County," says Gordon Kaye, General Manager of the Reading Royals. "We want to recognize their contributions to our community, and have a little fun in the process."

In conjunction with the Reading Royals, Berks and Beyond, the "Official Employment Service of the Reading Royals," will conduct two job fairs at the Sovereign Center before game time. The first job fair will be held October 29th, 2009 and the second on March 18th, 2010 - the night the contest winner will be announced. In addition, Berks and Beyond will have an information table open during many of the Royals' home games, where business owners and job seekers alike can learn more about services and job opportunities available through Berks and Beyond.
