IIT Graduate ‘Sells’ Himself on Online Retailer Giant Flipkart to Get a Job There
The placement season is on and crabbing your dream job is not a cake-walk anymore. Even though you belong to prestigious IITs or IIMs, the pressure on you to make your resume stand out is insane
So, there are some who find their own innovative ways to get attention and move a step forward towards their dream. Akash Neeraj Mittal is among those, one in a million, who literally sold himself on the website for a Job.
Aakash Neeraj Mittal, a recent graduate, said, “When you are a 6-pointer and competing with best of the best minds of the country, you know how hard it is to land a job,” according to the India Times.
He added: “You start doing some crazy and random stuff to stand out from the crowd. This is my resume for Flipkart’s APM Profile. I didn’t get an interview call though, but I hope it will bring a smile on someone’s face.”
Mittal listed himself on the website for Rs 27,60,200 ($40,990). He described himself as “artistic by heart” and “intellectually curious.”
A 6-pointer graduate from IIT-Kharagpur, he has put himself up for sale in online e-commerce giant Flipkart, the site on which he wants to work as a Project Manager. He is also the author of ‘It Wasn’t Her Fault’.
It took him 70 hours to make this interesting resume, which has been grabbing eye balls all over.
In his Facebook post, Akash said that he actually didn’t get an interview call, but he hoped that this resume will bring a smile on someone’s face.
Though, he has not got the job yet, but yes, he made everyone smile.
Will Flipkart reconsider this resume? We will definitely get to know it soon.
