“Sending Resumes is Like Buying Lottery Tickets.”

Every once in a while, you run into a quote so clever, you wish you had said it.

Everyone who has ever sent out a few hundred resumes could second ProfJonathan for this observation during his tweeterview on 22 Tweets.  He suggests being creative with social/ media.  So what’s creative?  Good question.

How about a fellow I know (not a client) who advertised his services on Craig’s List after getting out of prison? There’s one that’s even a longer shot than a new lawyer.  But he received two inquiries and one of them ended up with a job.

What do you think? What would be a creative way to use social media to get a job? I’ll be posting this in a few forums where I belong and I’ll sharethe best answers in a future post.
