Picturehouse Giveaway: Win a Pair of Cinema Tickets!

picturehouse_logo_01To celebrate our successful New Year redesign, Picturehouse Cinemas has very kindly offered us 10 pairs of free cinema tickets to give away!

A couple of us here in the team are members of the Picturehouse and we regularly visit both their Clapham and Brixton (better known as the Ritzy) cinemas. Picturehouse are a far cry from the typical hoodie-filled cinemas. Instead they offer a cool, intimate, and relaxed atmosphere (wine and beer can be taken into the screens!) which caters well for their regular audience of film-buffs and trendy types.

The cinemas show a good mix of mainstream and arthouse films. We highly recommend them and if you’ve got a keen interest in films then make sure you check out the Picturehouse blog too.

Competition Details

The competition is open to members of FreelanceStudents only. In order to be in with a chance of winning one of the 10 pairs of free tickets, all you have to do is send us a simple one liner to support@freelancestudents.co.uk on a feature, idea, or improvement you would like to see added to the site. For example:

I would like to see FreelanceStudents add company profiles, so I can learn more about each company before applying“ – easy :-)

Now, there’s one unfortunate caveat. The competition is only open to UK residents, due to shipping costs for international rates.

The competition ends on Wednesday 17th March. The winners will be chosen by random from the various (sensible) submissions. So get sending us your suggestions today to be in with a chance of winning a pair of free tickets!

Get the Job You Want, Even When No One’s Hiring: Book Giveaway

The good people from Wiley (the publisher) have been generous enough to give away free copies of their recently released book, “Get the Job You Want, Even When No One’s Hiring” by Ford R. Meyers, to 10 lucky FreelanceStudents members.

We came across “Get the Job You Want…” when one of our readers mentioned that our recent article – How to Cope with Job Rejection – reminded them of the book. So, naturally, we had to see who was cribbing our work (ok, so the book was clearly out before our article!).

On reading the first few pages, we were slightly dumbfounded by the comparison, as the book seemed to be too… American. However, we pressed on, and gradually we began to understand. This book is awash with heart-warming and motivating advice for those struggling to find work during these economic times, and if you are able to overlook the American undertones then this book could just help you find the job you want!

Competition Details

The competition is open to students only. In order to be in with a chance of winning a copy, all you have to do is register as a member of FreelanceStudents between the 8th September and 2nd October of this year. Easy, huh?

Now, there’s one unfortunate caveat. The competition is only open to UK residents, due to shipping costs for international rates.
