Would you hire this guy?

Just saw this video on Youtube. It shows a young man trying "something different" to get a job.

My question is... what does it really say about his personal brand?

Would you hire him? You have to say though, as a Marketing person, he sure created a buzz!

I too love his get up and go, I hope it has been successful for him.

Anyone else seen creative attempts to find employment?

I would hire him in a heart beat!! He is not sitting on his butt in front of the computer waiting for someone to email him back. He did that ,then being a marketing person he got off his tail and marketed himself. The only thing a candidate really has to sell is themselves.

If there is such a thing as a personal brand , (mine is M7 nicely freeze branded on 7 horses and some cattle,) he branded, promoted, advertised, marketed himself as a creative, willing to do what it takes guy. I would bet that he would not be the type to whine for more vacation, no overtime or weekends, push for more money every five minutes or insist on the newest technology before he could do a job. He would do it.
It's a 10 in my book.
