NEW TREND: WORKERS AUCTIONING THEMSELVES OFF

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Wireless Flash) -- Workers may soon be hearing the words "going, going, gone" instead of "you're hired." According to job search expert Heather Stone, the latest trend in business is workers who sell themselves to the highest bidder using online auctions. Stone -- who heads up the Myjobsearch.com website -- claims thousands of people have already placed themselves into so-called "talent auctions" where they list their minimum "bid" for a salary. But while there are plenty of workers currently on the auction block, it seems there's no one willing to bid on them: Stone says she doesn't know one person who's actually landed a job through an online auction. However, she says the process is still ahead of its time and predicts employers will soon be willing to hire folks at auction.
