In a time where it is very hard to get noticed as a job seeker, one person got an interview for a designer job by sending the company a box of cookies. Bringing baked goods into the office as an employee is a common occurrence. It is a strange sight, however, to be the head of a company and see a box of cookies come across your desk as a job application.
The idea of sending clever applications is not new. Recently, one person sent out a LEGO person with their resume. The woman that sent out instantly got an interview and shortly after landed her new designer job. Being creative when applying to jobs is a great way to show of your creativity and initiative in order to stand out from the traditional paper crowd.
