What is the best way to land a job at an e-commerce website? Sell yourself on it.
Instead of circulating a CV, IIT-graduate Aakash Neeraj Mittal decided to do something unconventional. He decided to put himself on sale on Flipkart - while applying for a product management vacancy at the e-commerce giant.
"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. You start doing some crazy and random stuff to stand out from the crowd. This is my resume for Flipkart's APM Profile," Mittal wrote.
Harsh Bajaj, who was Mittal's junior at IIT Kharagpur, said in a Quora post:
"A senior of mine used this really interesting way to make his resume for Flipkart by putting himself for sale on the online e-commerce giant! Literally tried to 'sell himself '".
