Dude poses as a donut delivery man to sneak his résumé into agencies
Free donuts: the key to getting a new job?
Lukas Yla, a marketer searching for work in San Francisco, has devised a tasty way to get the attention of prospective employers. He poses as a Postmates delivery person, then drops off a box of free donuts at the agency he's interested in. When they open the box, whoa! They find a resume.
Guess whose résumé it is. Go on, guess.
