Share & Win! - Share your working life. Pocket fabulous prizes.

Welcome to SnagAJob.com's new community section: Off the Clock. This is a resource for job seekers and by job seekers. If SnagAJob.com was a house, this would be the playroom. And with your help, we’ll build bigger and better toys as we move along.

In this very space, Share & Win!, we’re encouraging hourly job seekers and workers from all walks of life to share stories, advice and more. To help encourage you to participate and build some momentum, we’re offering a little extra incentive: Prizes. If your contribution is chosen as the best by our team of job experts, we’ll display it right here and send away your well-earned booty so you can brag to your family and friends.

So collect your thoughts, give it your best shot, and be sure to tell your fellow job seekers about Off the Clock.

This time out: Quirkiest co-worker story

Is there a guy in sales who wears a buckskin cap to work every day? Does your car pool buddy rock out to Billy Ray Cyrus on the drive? Whatever it is, we want to hear about your quirkiest coworker.

Prize: $300 gift card to take that nut out to lunch! Submit your story by July 31.

Here's an example:
While working for a consumer electronics store, I had a co-worker, Jay, who prided himself on being EXTREME! He lived loud, dressed louder and scared away every woman within 30 yards of his awful Burt Reynolds’ mustache. One time he invited me out to lunch – and he wanted to drive. Jay’s ride was a lipstick red IROC-Z with a vanity license plate that read, “AWSOMMM.” But that wasn’t enough; Jay also had a matching mini license plate keychain with the same inscription. After I triple-checked that my seatbelt was secure, Jay revved the engine and blasted some German techno music that would even make David Hasselhoff cringe. I thought once we hit 88 mph, we’d leap into the future, but instead we were just in a Burger King parking lot.

Also: We'll announce the Worst Job Interview Story on Thursday, July 3. Read the top funny job story from our May winner.
