The Rules For Reviews

April 7, 2009 Posted By: Trevor Wilson Category: Admin


Over the past few weeks I have seen a huge increase in the number of review requests that have come in. It seems that this increase coincided with my posts on TwitterShouldHireMe and TwitterJobSearch.com.

Given the volume of requests (and the questions that have come with them), I have decided to establish some ground rules for site/product/service reviews on Gradversity.

So here are the rules (in no particular order):

  1. To be eligible for review, your site/product/service should cover one of the following topics:
    • Job hunting
    • Recruiting
    • Networking
    • Negotiation
  2. When you pitch your material for review, be sure to outline how this will benefit Gradversity readers and Entry Level Job seekers in general.
  3. You must be willing to take the good with the bad. The review will be open and honest and will proportionally highlight both the good and the bad. If you can’t take the criticism, you chose the wrong site for a review.
  4. If you want a website reviewed, you will receive two links back to your home page: one in the introduction and one in the conclusion. No additional links will be allowed.
  5. If you want a product or service reviewed, providing a sample would be helpful for context. However, please understand that providing a sample will not impact the outcome of the review. (Note: Due to the volume of requests and time constraints, samples will not be returned.)
  6. I am open to running a promotional contest for your product or service under the conditions that:
    • I find your product/service valuable (at my sole discretion)
    • You provide the promotional copy/trial free of charge
    • I choose the format of the contest

For my part, I will try ensure that my feedback is constructive whenever possible when reviewing your material.

Still interested? Contact Gradversity.
