Damian's World of Difference progress comes to an end...

Well, my progress through the ranks of the Vodafone World of Difference for 2010 has ended in the top 25. I didn't get shortlisted to the top 10, however there were over 500 applications, so just being in the top 25 and spreading the word about Camp Quality was a great achievement.

Apparently, the top 10 applications had some very exciting and unique things that they wanted to do - I suspect my application was just a bit too general. I wish the top 10 all the best, and hope the top 5 go on to make a World of Difference for their chosen charities.

Thanks to everyone for their support - it was fun while it lasted. Here's my final video for the Vodafone World of Difference 2010.

Top 25 here I come!!!

I received a call today from Demelza from the Vodafone Foundation Australia. We had a good chat about my application, what I do with Camp Quality already etc, and at the end of the conversation, she advised me that I had made it into the top 25 shortlist...

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Apparently my video was a big hit in the office, giving them all a good laugh - which is the best medicine as we all know!!

Where to from here? Well... the top 25's written application, 2 page professional CV and video are submitted to the selection panel, who over the next couple of days will select the top 10 applicants, who will then be invited to come for an interview in the next week or so - in Sydney!!

I will be meeting with Brooke (Camp Quality South Queensland Area Manager) on Friday to discuss a whole bunch of things, and prepare for if I get the call-up into the top 10...

Fingers crossed!!

ps: Forgot to mention, my Youtube video has now had over 1100 views!!!!!
