 "Job applicant delivers pizza with CV")
Job hunting is not an easy thing and one has to go through a chaotic maze to find the right job. However, due to heavy competition, job seekers are also trying creative ways to grab the attention of the company's founder and hiring managers. Recently, a US job seeker tried an unconventional way to reach out to the CEO.
Antimetal CEO, Matthew Parkhurst, shared the story of an applicant, David, who applied for an internship through this unique way. David not only sent the resume to their office, but he also sent a pizza to the company.
The applicant shared a handwritten note explaining his desire to join the Antimetal team as an engineering intern and also confessed that the pizza “was a bribe for the hiring team to check out his website and portfolio.”
The applicant attached a note and wrote, “Hey Antimetal team, congrats on the recent launch. Inspired by Antimetl’s brief stint as slices as a service company, please enjoy this pizza. I’ve also brought a copy of my resume as an application for the engineering intern position."
"I’m super excited by the opportunity and am driven to do what it takes. PS: This is basically a bribe for you to go to my site. P.P.S. I’ve made a small PR to fix some links in your docs,” the note further adds.
