Wished-In

As soon as kids can speak, they fantasize about what they will be when they grow older. From teachers to veterinarians, these uninhibited dreams excite and stimulate their imaginations. However, some are faced with the reality that they may not get to live them out. But what if there was a way that employers around the world could help fulfill these dreams?

“We’ll partner with LinkedIn to create the first-ever “Open-to-Wishes” job postings, allowing Make-a-Wish children to share and score their dream jobs. This partnership will help us reach millions of career professionals who can directly fulfill these dreams and provide a 1-day salary that will serve as a donation to the foundation. Once ‘hired’, each child will get a personal, behind-the-scenes experience with their chosen career. With access to LinkedIn’s 134 million users, we could create the largest wish-granting network in the world.”
