Innovative Way To Hunt For A Job ;-)

After a prolonged failure to secure a job on Wall Street, Mr Joshua Persky took to the streets of New York handing out résumés to passers-by and wearing a sandwich board that said, ‘Experienced M.I.T. Grad for Hire’. The placard carried his name and contact information. He stood on a busy spot and grabbed the attention of thousands who passed him every hour. The gimmick hasn’t got him a job yet but he has become famous overnight with various news channels interviewing him and the story carried in newspapers across the world. His situation is symbolic of the crisis that banks and securities firms are facing with banks cutting more than 80,000 jobs. Mr. Persky has received a few job interview calls since. However, he has also received hate calls from various quarters saying that he has demeaned MIT’s reputation.
