Facebook Users Can Send Their Friends on a Virtual Vacation With
virtual VayCay
itzbig Targets Quiet Working Professionals with an Application that
is Fun and Offers the Potential of a Real Vacation and More to Those Who
Use It
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 10, 2008 --
In a bid to help Quiet Working Professionals (QWP) embrace their dreams
and aspirations, itzbig (www.itzbig.com)
has introduced a new application, virtual VayCay, that encourages
Facebook users to send their friends on a virtual vacation.
itzbig, an industry leader in job-matching technology, created and
embraced the application as a tool to reach QWPs, or those individuals
who are currently employed in unfulfilling positions. itzbig believes
these individuals may be highly qualified, but are reluctant to pursue
other career opportunities because of concerns over privacy and the lack
of immediate feedback.
“Just like virtual VayCay, itzbig encourages
QWPs to dream big,” said itzbig VP of
Marketing Denise Court. “There are fantastic
employment opportunities on the itzbig network. We give QWPs the ability
to create anonymous profiles based upon their skills and desires. They
then see in real time how they score against these opportunities. These
are critical differentiators in the employment industry, and a big
reason that we have attracted job postings from the likes of eBay,
Yahoo! and Intuit.”
One of the benefits of virtual VayCay is that users earn miles by
sending their friends on vacations. They receive even more miles when
their friends actually accept their vacation invitations. Everyone who
adds the application can compete to win real airlines vouchers. itzbig
will give away the first award–a $1,500 gift
certificate from American Airlines–on May 31.

Besides the indirect tie-in, itzbig also offers a “Need
more than a Vacation?” tab in the application
that allows users to search a position category and see available jobs
on the itzbig network.
“While we offer a technology that resolves two
of the most pressing concerns–privacy and
immediate feedback–of the QWP, it is also
important for itzbig to continue to think outside the box and embrace
creative ways to establish a connection with these individuals,”
added Court.
“The fact is, everyone needs a break from
their job every now and then. Sometimes, people need more than a
vacation. They need a new job. The itzbig network is the ideal place for
them to find a more fulfilling opportunity.”
