I still remember Winter 2010 when we relaunched Polka Dot Bride with all our specialty titles! Along with our launch was a project I’d wanted for ages and finally launched Ms Polka’s Job Board! It’s been a little quiet of late as manually updating it got away from me, but thanks to our fab development team you can now submit your positions vacant, we’ll approve them and they’ll go live on the site for free! If you’re interested in working in the wedding industry, or have a position vacant check it out! (As a launch special, it’s also completely free!) Check it out here or by visiting the Polka Dot Wisdom blog!
