The Good News Network used the power of TV to avoid this bureaucratic process. And how exactly? By promoting the unemployed where decision makers would actually see them: the highest rated TV News Channel in the country.Instead of a regular tv spot, we used the space so unemployed workers could read their resumes as they were introduced by the Financial Editor of the channel.At the end of it, people were invited to visit the website umaboanoticia.com. On this website, the unemployed workers could upload their resumeswhile employers could search for the people they need.

In a few weeks thousands of people were registered. And the contacts for interviews just keep coming.Oswaldo, one of the unemployed workers featured in the TV spothas just been contacted for an interview. The very first in person interview in over three years of unemployment.At a time when people only received bad news, we had the best result we could ever expect: we gave some good news for a change.
