Do you want a fancy new job? Turns out one of the ways to get it is to drink scotch and grow a mustache. Wait, what?
That’s exactly what Matt Epstein is touting as some of the reasons he would be a great hire for Google. He also seems to be genuinely qualified for the position but that’s only half the battle. The other half is actually getting the attention of the hiring department at Google. Here’s what he did:
He built a pretty Google-y looking website (googlepleasehire.me) begging for Google to hire him, complete with engaging videos, a Top 10 List, contact tools, and an unorthodox resume (view PDF here).
Googlepleasehire.me (get it, me? Matthew Epstein? Ha!) has been live for a couple of days now, and at the time of the launch Epstein wrote that this is just the beginning of his quest to land a job at Google:
I have several big marketing and PR initiatives scheduled and I can’t wait for Google and everyone else to see them. The next 21 days will prove whether I walk the walk or just talk the talk.
This isn’t about proving to people that I excel at marketing, this is about proving to myself that I have what it takes to solve complicated problems with enthusiasm and passion.
Also, making rather amusing videos.
According to TechCrunch, Google has already gotten in touch with Epstein but informed him that he should go through the standard hiring processes over there (which he’s fine with).
