Extreme Job Hunting
The extreme lengths people go to in seeking work.
Unsual Job Seeking Methods
In a harsh job market, some people have gone to extreme lengths to advertise themselves as available and to showcase their skill sets. Some examples are using billboards, sandwich boards, social media campaigns, creating websites and unique publicity stunts like selling themselves for a year on ebay.
