Resumes Gone Wild

The ever-changing job market is getting quite competitive, so those who can think outside of the box when it comes to snagging their dream gig will win the prize.

Here's a great example of putting your creativity to work, Crystal Nunn applied for a junior designer position at We are Social in London and snagged the job thanks to a batch of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

Nunn, an avid baker, prepared a batch of cookies using ingredients from Beyond Dark chocolate, a brand co-founded by We Are Social creative director James Nester. She designed a special box for the goodies labeled "Beyond Ideas," attached a thumb-drive containing her traditional résumé and portfolio, and hand-delivered the package in a brown wrapper marked "Urgent." Within an hour, We Are Social contacted Nunn for an interview and i think you know how the story ends. She got the job!
