I went out on a limb once with a creative resume at a Jet Blue open-house. I can't know for sure, but I've always felt it did more damage than good. What seemed like pure random selection, three of us were whisked into a room for an on-the-spot interview. We were plopped down in front of a very serious looking check-airman. Our resumes already on the table before him. From my vantage, viewed upside-down, the other pilot's resumes looked clean and standard. He methodically looked them over one at a time, lifted his head and addressed me by name. He peered into my soul, and then proceeded to summarily take me apart. The other two blokes didn't know whether to feel sorry for me or thank me for taking all the heat off them - LOL!
Ha ha! Well, I guess I figure anywhere that can't appreciate a little individuality (outside the cockpit of course) probably isn't a great fit. But really funny story! It's never too great when the check-airman starts to stare into your soul, though.
As for the approach, I hope it works out, too. But regardless, writing letters to animals certainly diverted the insanity of hoping for a call into a new direction of insanity, even if for only a couple hours.
