People don't usually think of job ads as "entertaining." Frankly, they can be kind of dry. At least that was the case until July when P.Diddy posted an ad on YouTube for a personal assistant. (His update of the posting is also worth watching, if only for the admonition, "Kids, stay in school.")
Aquent has already made several forays into more or less straightforward video job posting territory - check out this post for a Senior Interactive Designer in Philadelphia or this one for a Search Marketing Specialist in Europe. And, as it turns out, we've also ventured onto P.Diddy's turf with this video advertisement for a "selling area manager" in our New York office.
Is it funny? Does it work? Do you want the job? If you are interested, please check out this more old school job ad on Aquent's website.
I like this a lot. It's exciting to see so much experimentation in the world of video job postings!
Has everyone see this one? I'm not recommending it for everyone, but it shows the possibilities ;-)
