Chocolate CV

Everyone knows how important it is nowadays to stand out from the crowd when it comes to job hunting. Unemployment levels are some of the highest they have ever been in the UK and many job vancancies are recieving hundreds of applications.

In order to sweeten his job hunt, a man from New York came up with the idea of printing his CV onto a chocolate bar and managed to secure a job in Marketing.
Nick Begley's Chocolate CV
The creator of the chocolate CV, Nick Begley replaced the ingredients and nutrional content with his work experience and skills.
Begley told ABC News: "People are either going to love or hate it.

"My focus was to find an organisation that would embrace it, because if they weren't open to that kind of out-of-the-box thinking, that wouldn't be a company that I would fit in well with anyways."

Could these sort of personal PR stunts become more popular in our oversubscribed job market?
