I had to share this. People are going to great lenghts, both good and bad to get noticed in today's job market. With an overwhelming candidate pool, companies are posting less jobs because of the impossible-to-manage volume of applications (another area CareerScribe helps, but I digress).
Eric in Austin, TX decided he would standout in a very very expensive way. I'm not sure how familiar you are with billboard advertising, but it's not cheap. Eric decided he would create an online presence, himself, since he's an IT guy, and market it...big time.
No targeting and it's more a PR stunt than anything probably, but hopefully he gets a job. Instead of focusing on a quality online portfolio or targeting jobs that really make sense for him and sharing information in a rich and meaningful way, he bought a billboard.
I hope he finds this blog and contacts me. We at CareerScribe would love to help him market himself, get a great job, and save an annual salary in marketing costs.
