American Fork, UT (ClassesandCareers.com) October 15, 2009 – ClassesandCareers.com is challenging its users to submit their most shiver-inducing tales for their Scariest Freaking Story Ever Contest 2009. The entry with the most votes will win a new Amazon Kindle. Entries range from bloody to bone-chilling, to true life accounts, to fictional short stories.

The contest asks users to tell their most frightening story, factual or fictional. Entries will be evaluated based on the number of votes they receive. The story that receives the most votes will win a brand-new Amazon Kindle. A randomly chosen runner-up will win a $50 gift card to Amazon.com.

Entrants spin spooky tales of malevolent spirits, possessed MP3 players, Native American shapeshifters, and surgery gone horribly wrong.

"One night he woke up and found a man standing over his bed staring down at him… Then the man spoke. ‘You feel cold, don’t you?’” writes Patric Krueger. “About a week later he woke up with 2nd degree burns on his arm.”

"Scary stories have an important place in the college experience, and the best time to tell them is Halloween," says Adam Sorensen, director of SEO at ClassesandCareers.com. "So we created a contest where students share their scariest stories and win a truly awesome prize."

The contest is the second contest from ClassesandCareers.com’s new College Life blog, which features posts, videos, podcasts, and contests about everything college life. More contests will follow on a monthly basis.

Sorensen continues, "Everyone has a scary story to tell, no matter who they are. Allowing people to tell those stories is a fun experience."

The contest ends at midnight on October 31, after which the top five stories will be chosen. Users will be allowed to vote for their favorite story until November 7. The winner and the randomly chosen runner-up will be announced November 10. To enter the contest or see contest entries, visit the contest page.

Classesandcareers.com unveils a new navigation bar based on top-down, horizontal models made popular by websites such as Amazon.com. This improved navigation system is designed to allow users to easily negotiate the more than 750 academic programs available through Classesandcareers.com and thereby increase search efficiency and satisfaction. The horizontal navigation system focuses on nine general areas of academic study, which are featured prominently along the top edge and displayed throughout the portal. These general areas of study include business, criminal justice and legal, design, education , health and nursing, IT and engineering, liberal arts, social sciences, and vocational studies. The general areas are written on tabs and can be activated easily on any page in the portal. Once a general area has been selected, a drop-down menu appears, showing more specific areas of study, which in turn lead to common program names. "The revamped navigation system has been a real collaborative effort," says Nicholas Greer, President of Classesandcareers.com (a division of One on One Marketing, Inc.). "It’s been the product of months of research and hundreds of hours of work. But it’s all for the user. The hope is that this new navigation will allow us to help students find exactly the program they want quickly and easily." The new navigation system is one of several innovations Classesandcareers.com has planned for its portal in the coming months. "With each new innovation," Greer notes, "we make it easier for students to find the schools they want, and we make it easier for schools to find the students they want. Everybody’s happy — that’s our goal."
