Sandwich Board Guy Gets A Job

Clusterstock:

Feel good story of the day: Josh Persky, a laid-off MIT grad who wore a sandwich board advertising his services has found a job. According to peHUB, Persky will take up work as Weiser LLP, an accounting firm.

Good news for Persky, but he's not the only one out there looking for a job this way. In November, we wrote about "Paul", who depressingly advertised that he had been laid off and was almost homeless.

Erin Griffith suggests this is probably not a good longterm strategy for job seekers, since the shtick gets old quickly. And in fact Persky was mainly hired because of his blog on finance and accounting issues, which you can read here.

One less unemployed person. Unfortunately, there are millions of others....and thousands joining the ranks on a daily basis. Still, nice to see some good news every now and again.

If nothing else, he drew attention to himself. Thus, he drew interest to his blog, then the interest of his new employer (because of the blog)! Whatever works! Good for him!!!

Good for him. Nothing like a little chutzpah!
