Just read that job seekers are now using unconventional sales weapons to get the attention of hiring managers.

Some of the most memorable tactics identified by hiring managers include:

  • The candidate sent a shoe with a resume to “get my foot in the door.”
  • The candidate staged a sit-in in the lobby to get a meeting with a director.
  • The candidate washed cars in the parking lot.
  • The candidate sent a resume wrapped as a present and said his skills were a “gift to the company.”
  • The candidate handed out resumes at stoplights.
  • The candidate sent a cake designed as a business card with the candidate’s picture.
  • The candidate went to the same barber as the chairman of the board and had the barber speak on his behalf.
  • The candidate handed out personalized coffee cups.
  • The candidate came dressed in a bunny suit because it was near Easter.
  • The candidate told the receptionist he had an interview with the manager. When he met the manager, he confessed that he was driving by and decided to stop in on a chance.

Does desperation sparks creativity?
When the odds are against us – only do we turn to unconventional and true differentiation?
Why not be unconventional and live differentiation always?
