This guy is a genius
Michael Daehn, a social media consultant was sick of using job websites like Monster to search for his next employer.
He set up a website GetMikeAJob, and offered prizes to anyone who could find him any sort of employment.
The prizes he was offering were genius – car washing, Krispy Kremes, a social media or marketing consultation for your business, anything he could think of!
With regular diary updates, readers were informed of Mike’s progress, and of course his frustrations.
But fear not – by Day 25 he got a job!
What a great idea, and with Facebook and Twitter pages too, Mike was demonstrating his skills at the same time. Watch this space for GetAlisonAJob!
