Many, many months ago I posted about the “unique, eye-catching” tactics desperate job-hunters were using to get their foot in the door. For example, the loser who sent a company a shoe with a note saying “trying to get my foot in the door”. As the recession continues to drag on (seriously?) I have to imagine that job seekers are getting wayyy more desperate. Like they’ve probably gone from cute and interesting to scary and disturbing. I’m not saying these are my ideas but let’s say “someone” thought of a few ways to stand out from the crowd and really get your point across.  Mail the human resources department of your dream company a bloody knife with a note “Accidents happen when you don’t hire the right candidate. See resume attached”. OR mail feces to a recruiter saying “this is what will happen to your company without me. Call me!”  Consider this free job advice, and practically guaranteed to get a response, you can thank me when you land your new job selling knives for Cutco.
