Fair Play! This Marketing Graduate Took A Very Unusual Approach To Finding A Job

An unemployed marketing graduate is said to have been "inundated" with interview offers, after taking a proactive approach to finding a new job. Having unsuccessfully send out over 300 applications to companies in the UK, 22-year-old Alfred Ajani decided to take matters into his own hands to gain a competitive edge on his fellow graduates. Ajani put on his best suit this morning, printed a sign outlining his qualifications and stood at Waterloo Station during rush hour in the hope that commuting bosses may take notice of his skills and give him a chance. His canny approach paid off and Ajani said he had received a "great response" to the stunt, with an interview already booked for this afternoon! "I realised that there are thousands of students out there using the same old methods of applying for jobs online and through recruitment agencies and so I thought I'd try something different. I got up early and went to the station. At first, people just looked at me but after about 10 minutes people starting stopping and talking. "They said they'd never seen anything like it before and were really impressed. One woman worked in advertising and took a CV and another guy ran back from his train and said he'd walked past but had started thinking and might have something for me. I've already had some phone calls and have got an interview booked for later today. The support was great, one man even bought me a cup of tea and told me 'good luck'."
