A CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Career Transitions was very responsive to our need for two key positions within our company. The VP of Operations position was filled almost immediately with a very experienced professional who has been a great asset to our corporation. The other position, Safety/HR Manager, took a little longer but they persevered until they found a great candidate. He is performing beyond our expectations and will always be a key employee. We appreciate the professional service we were provided by Career Transitions and will most definitely be contacting them when the need arises.”
“What I appreciated most was how they really demonstrated a concern on finding candidates that fit with our needs....it was a true partnership that has provided value.”

KEY WEST
Help wanted -- rent's on us
A Keys kayak and outdoor company had no luck filling a position, so they are sponsoring a contest to relocate one person to paradise.
BY JENNIFER BABSON
KEY WEST - Imagine a gig that allows you to bike to your job in shorts and sandals, work around the water alongside a bunch of friendly dogs and their two-legged masters and never, ever, have to battle a South Florida commute.
The salary: $75,000. Housing provided.
Sound like paradise? For one lucky person, this escapist fantasy will become reality.
In a novel campaign to draw attention to their company -- and to an affordable housing crunch in the Keys that has spawned a labor shortage -- the owners of Lazy Dog Island Outfitters & Outdoor Adventure Co. want someone to ``Win a Job in Key West.''
LABOR SQUEEZE
The employee-owned company runs kayak and outdoor trips and also designs and sells a growing line of outdoor clothing and accessories.
After trying -- and failing -- to hire a new employee for more than two months earlier this year, company co-owner Sue Cooper devised the idea for a yearlong contest.
''We had an ad in the paper 10 weeks in a row, and we couldn't find anyone to work,'' Cooper said. ``You can only complain so long, then you have to do something about it.''
Aspirants can check out the contest at www.winajobinkeywest.com, and apply by submitting a 300-word essay, a $10 fee and a job history.
''Somebody is going to end up with a great job,'' said Cooper, 39, who is trailed most days by a black-and-white border collie named Molly.
The winner would begin working alongside Lazy Dog's 12-person staff in June 2007. The job will involve participation in every aspect of the company, from marketing and sales to leading trips and promoting the Lazy Dog brand.
''We want people who will fit in and work hard,'' Cooper said.
The contest's website and word-of-mouth buzz have generated most of the interest so far.
In less than a month, more than 100 folks from 32 states have applied for the chance to toil for the company, whose trademark slogan, ''Slow Down, Dog!'' is emblazoned on T-shirts and baseball caps. Lazy Dog is run out of a houseboat office overlooking the Hurricane Hole Marina on Stock Island, just outside Key West.
