To view the commercial, go to http://www.careerbuilder.com/tv.

Building on the commercial's success and theme, CareerBuilder.com is announcing a new online video contest to identify the most outrageous reason why someone would think "it's probably time" to look for a new job. The winning video will receive $5,000.
