Scot Albert has been unemployed for six months. He’s sent out a lot of resumes and has landed a lot of interviews, but so far no job. With no work in his future he decided to try a unique method of job-hunting – put on a shirt and tie and stand on the corner with a sign seeking employment
“I had to think out of the box, had to be a little different than everyone else, kind of stand out.” With 30 resumes in his pocket, Albert hit the corner of 15th Ave NW and NW Market Street this morning to look for a job. As of 10:30, after an hour on the corner, no takers, but that’s not discouraging Albert. “Tomorrow I’m going to come out and do a little viral video and I’m going to put it on YouTube,” he tells us. “Everyday I’m going to do something different, a little out of the box and try to promote myself.”
Albert has experience in the legal arena, working with evictions and foreclosures for the last few years and now he wants to reinvent himself. He starts culinary school at the Art Institute of Seattle very soon and would like to find an entry-level position in that field, or the legal field that he already knows.
