Street-smart PR for job search

It could be filed under “sign of the times,” together with the gas theft from cars.

But this story struck me as a very brave act of job seeking. Gilbert resident Corey Gibisch, a recently laid off employee, took to the streets to get his resume out. No one should ever have to get to this point. But instead of feeling bad for him, I would applaud him for this:

  • He got more attention with 100 resumes than he would have at a job fair
  • He got into the media without pitching his story
  • His sign was all about the place he liked to work in, rather than about himself
  • He snagged thirty business cards –leads, in his case. Do the math. 120 minutes, 100 resumes, 3o leads

Whoever hires Mr. Gibisch will have a lucky find –and a very interesting answer to anyone who asks “where did you find this guy?”

  1. I actually saw him! I was waiting to get on the freeway and there he was. I think it is a great move on his part. It says alot about his character: he’s bold, not afraid to take risks and do something different. Most companies could use a guy like him working for them. Just think if he’s willing to sell himself like this, what creative ways would he think of selling your product or your services.
