In a world where recruiters look at CVs for six to seven seconds, job seekers often have to get creative to land roles. One such applicant is making waves on LinkedIn after sharing his way of standing out to recruiters—by delivering food to offices and giving HR his résumé. In a recent post, Noam Beller recounts his ordeal in the job market, struggling to land jobs despite having years of experience as a sales and brand manager and account executive. According to Beller, recruiters often told him he was 'overqualified' during the interview process. Putting his frustrations aside, Beller decided to 'get creative.'
While delivering Wolt food in Tel Aviv offices, Beller began asking for HR and handing in his CV. Reflecting on his decision, Beller says he believes 'in doing what others won't,' and that 'sometimes people need to see the person behind the resume.' According to Beller, his strategy succeeded, scoring multiple interviews and even some job offers. While Beller's decision to leverage his side hustle to stand out from other applicants and meet recruiters is undeniably ingenious, it is part of a wider trend of young, experienced workers going to unexpected, creative lengths to secure their dream position.
