My name is Patty Patrignelli and I live in Monroe, New York. While my main role in life is a mom, I am also a Kindergarten Teaching Assistant in a K-1 elementary.
Has your sense of humor ever helped you on the job?
I truly believe humor is what gets us through life. I am fortunate to be around children all day who bring humor into everything they say and do. Many times when I see a student struggling with a concept or skill, I use humor to lighten up the moment and make them feel more relaxed and less apprehensive. Funny rhymes and silly, humorous behavior can make a huge difference in how a child responds to you.
There is something for everyone; when you are truly focused on making a change or following a dream, doors will open.
What do you find funny and not funny about job search?
What I find funny about a job search is the fact that people expect to open the newspaper and find that highly-paid dream job on page 44. What is not so funny, is the fact that there are so many talented, hard-working people who just haven’t had the opportunity to get their foot in the door. Job searching is a tough, exhausting process; however, keep your sense of humor as people (including prospective employers) are naturally drawn to those who make them smile and laugh.SECOND PLACE

A few words with winning author Laural Stolicny:
What do you do for a living?
I am a STNA with a local nursing home.
Has your sense of humor ever helped you on the job?
Most definitely. When you work with the elderly, everyday can be a new adventure, not just for you but them as well.
Ever used humor in a job search?
Yes. I was interviewing for a nursing position and had to do the Heimlich on my interviewer who had swallowed her gum. So, I said, “Does that mean I passed the interview and hands on requirements ?” Needless to say, I started the next day.
What’s your best advice for job seekers?
My advice is to relax. The person interviewing you is probably just as nervous as you are.
What do you find funny and not funny about job search?
What I find funny (and also not funny) is that as soon as you accept a reasonable job offer, your dream job calls you for hire.

A few words with contest winner Jessica Mincey of Warner Robins, GA
What do you do for a living? I am a senior Middle Grades Education Major at Georgia Southern University by day and a team member at Einstein Bagel Bros by night.
Has your sense of humor ever helped you on the job? Yes! Sometimes you get a customer who is having such a bad day that they bring that bad day to you. I simply start telling jokes and making things funny so they start to forget about the negative!
Ever used humor in a job search? Yes! While interviewing for my current job, they asked me why I should be hired. I told them “I’m like Spiderman! He’s so cool. He helps people without needing recognition.” Stunned by the response, they burst out laughing and hired me on the spot.
What’s your best advice for jobseekers? Be YOURSELF! At the end of the day, if they hire someone who you put on your resume as you instead of the true you, it will only turn out horrible.
What do you find funny and not funny about job search? I found it humorous that I would apply for like 80 jobs just to get one call. What I did not find funny is the fact that there aren’t many jobs that will hire someone with 3/4 of a college degree.

A few words with contest winner Michael VanDervort of Lakeland Florida:What do you do for a living? Human Resources Strategist at Publix Super Markets
Has your sense of humor ever helped you on the job? Sense of humor has always been a plus in doing HR work. It helps relieve stress for people in anxious situations like a training session if you can drop a quick joke or funny remark without being snarky.
Ever used humor in a job search? I like to share stories in a job interview. Sometimes finding the humor in a common problem situation helps make a connection with the interviewer.
What’s your best advice for jobseekers? Stay focused. Don’t be self deprecating, but don’t be arrogant either.
What do you find funny and not funny about job search? I find the lack of follow-up by HR on the status of a job to be not funny at all. The humor in this is that it doesn’t take much more than a personal acknowledgement to make candidates think you are on the leading edge of candidate experience.

A short talk with winner Óscar E. Ferro Gálvez from Mexico City:What do you do for a living?: Advertising. I´m a Strategic-Creative Director Consulting.
Ever used humor in a job search?: Almost always. That is the key for a memorable Ad.
What’s your best advice for jobseekers?: Don´t seek a job. Create one!
What do you find funny and not funny about job search?: Well… When I´m looking for a job, I’ve found funny what the most of the employers I’ve visited always say to me that I’m overqualified for the position they offer. But it’s no funny that they don’t engage me for that, over all if I need that job!

A few words with winning author Sara DeAnne Zavorka of Lake Hills, TX:
What do you do for a living?
Full-time college student working towards a degree in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education. Currently, I am also a Community Assistant at my college. This job entails building a sense of community in my dorm, as well as assuring that the residents have a safe and fun time throughout their stay at their “home away from home.”
Has your sense of humor ever helped you on the job? any examples?
When I was a Cartoonist for my local newspaper, humor was a must. In anything I do, actually I at least try to have a good time with it. I’ve never been the comedian sort, but through my overly clumsy and sometimes naïve nature, it gets those around me laughing, and that alone is an ice breaker and ease-maker. Maintaining a humorous yet business-like status in any job is a difficult paradox, but those who master it can handle anything.
Ever used humor in a job search?
Humor drives living. Without it, everything would be dull and lacking of motivation.
My job searches consist of looking for a job in which I may exhibit some sense of humor, just to be able to have a good time with it.
What’s your best advice for jobseekers?
My favorite quote, by writer Douglas Noel Adams, says “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” I relate those words to nearly everything in life. For jobs, it is a reassurance that I will find the job I most need to be doing, when the time is right. It takes off some pressure amid the hectic searching.
What do you find funny and not funny about job search?
Being a younger adult, still emerging into the chaotic world that is having an occupation, I find it both funny and not so much how nearly every single job requires some work experience, but one cannot acquire that work experience if they cannot first get a job. Got to love irony…
