This week's exercise was to write a press release on any event. I suggested to the group to add a twist on the exercise by making our press releases about an offbeat or humorous story or event. We all agreed. Below is what I wrote:

iComm announces new hiring policy
To reflect the company's growing shift of focus towards building a strong company basketball team, iComm International recently announced changes in its hiring policy. The new guidelines released in its website require male applicants to be at least 5 feet and 10 inches in height and with prior experience in playing amateur or professional basketball.
"While work-related experience will still be an important criterion in filling our human resource requirements, prior experience in basketball will now be a critical consideration," explains Divine Golingay, iComm's HR Manager.
"We've always been on the lookout for winners. Now, we're just making sure our candidates are winners both on and off the basketball court," Ms. Golingay adds. iComm's focus currently is on shooting guards and power forwards but those with experience as centers are still welcome to apply. Female applicants are also encouraged to apply as team muse which is still open.
