Graduate pays £500 on billboard in an attempt to get a job - General

Everyone check this out, this graduate student spent £500 on a billboard to attempt to get a job [IMG]http://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/307198_464541783593017_406283572_n.png[/IMG] [quote]....An unemployed graduate has said he has spent his last £500 on a billboard aimed at finding him a job. Adam Pacitti, of Ryde, Isle of Wight, said he acted out of desperation to find work. The 24-year-old, who gained a first class degree in media production at the University of Winchester, hired the billboard to promote his website employadam.com. The site features a tongue-in-cheek video in which Mr Pacitti promotes his marketing skills. In the video, he says: "As you can see from my email inbox I have spent countless hours applying for jobs with no luck which is why I have launched employadam.com. "I am looking for work in the ultra-competitive, cut-throat and slightly vacuous industry that is the media."....[/quote] [URL="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/unemployed-graduate-spends-his-last-500-1516694#.UOW89hXcO3k.twitter"]News Article[/URL] [URL]http://www.employadam.com/[/URL] Thoughts? I think its a bold move especially in the competitive industry, hes going to turn heads wether or not the rights ones we will find out

I think he deserves a job. It's a wonderful website, he has great experience. If I was working in the media industry and was allowed to hire, it'd be him.

He should be a professional wrestler.

welcome to the porno industry, [I]adam[/I]

Something struck me odd with his face on the billboard.

Well, hope it goes viral for him - would be great publicity and a few youtube ads would serve to help a little to recoup the cost.

for a second I thought it said 500 billion and I nearly had a panic attack

shit if i had a company/need for him i'd hire him 5 minutes ago

His video CV was really interesting. Hope he gets hired.

he's pretty damn funny

I would give him a job personally in the video at the emails screen he applies to be a babe station model but gets declined

Is it me, or does he look like Justin Timberlake in the billboard

His CV isn't THAT amazing IMO. The only time I think he would be hired is because of the companies media exposure if he got a job.
