Find me a job, win a trip
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Desperate times calls for desperate measures and leveraging others to help you find a job is one idea that my friend Michael Checkoway has come up with.
Michael is a marketing professional and decided to use his creative marketing skills to help him find a job. He created a Web site which he designed to help him find a job. If you were the one that found him his next gig, he was willing to pay up to $6,000 or send you on a choice of all-expense paid trips. He placed his career search into three categories and the pay for performance rewards were based on how well he did through his self-marketing campaign. He had his resume online available for download.
We (and Michael especially) are happy to report that his unique job search method paid off - he has found a job. He started recently, and says he feels like he’s really going to enjoy his new position as a project manager.
I don’t know about you, but if I had a company that needed a marketing guru, my first choice would be Michael.
Do you think Michael’s job seeking technique is brilliant or a gimmick? Have you come up with any creative ideas to land a job?
