Social Media Hot Tub

Whatever the gorilla wants it to…

Perusing the endlessly entertaining public forum that is Craigslist a few weeks back, I noticed a help wanted ad that really got me kinda stoked. First, it was for a “Street Level Guerilla Marketer.” Second, it was at an art gallery/tattoo parlor that opened up in our fair city, Fort Myers, a couple of months ago. I had done the neighborly retweeting of their events and had an enthusiam for our local Art Walk event that started in Dec. Last winter, incidentally, seemed the jumping off place for the economic hemorrhage that scuttled our postcard paradise into national headline imfamy and this gallery sidewalk sale seemed a smug nose-thumbing at impending doom.

I didn’t have too much going on at the moment so I just starting pasting something together. Yeah, I have a detailed, crisp-white resume but I thought for art and tattoo and street-level, I’d have to come up with something a little more imagination-provoking. Either the position was filled or the wrong person opened the email (or maybe the ad itself was a type of attention-getting technique in itself. Wish I’d thought of it.). At any rate, I never got an answer. Such is life (such is Craigslist?).

I found a classic tattoo design and worked it into a restaurant menu of my attributes. Take my idea if you want – I got a better job with my good old fashioned resume anyway.

Have you got a creative guerilla resume? I’d love to see it.
