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?
