This crap is just crazy enough to work. I’ve heard of guys sending in resumes, filled out with crayons to show “diversity.” It’s the BS alike this and the people that pump themselves out to job fairs that end up getting the gig, unfortunately.

 

Nope. Doesn't work that way.

 

Got to get past the computer.

 

On a long layover in SEA once I took the Boeing factory tour at Everett/Paine field. At one part when we walked scaffolding the tour guide explained how some guests would throw paper airplanes down to the floor. They were resumes.

 

Dumb story . Com

 

Just looked at this guys website. I sure af hope he doesn’t get a job HERE at swa. Real dipsht. Im actually going to torpedo him, done.

 

Is this some sort of joke?

 

As others have said, this is an outgrowth from the social media fueled “all me all the time” mentality. But as a millennial myself, I don’t think this is an excuse that holds water because there are plenty of millennials out there who responsibly and humbly use social media and some who don’t even participate in social media at all. This guy is just out there.

Also, like this individual, my dad is a pilot at a legacy, and had I made a website like this soliciting myself to only his airline and in this manner, I think my dad would have absolved himself from association with me out of sheer embarrassment and humiliation and also the short-sightedness and naivety of targeting only one employer. (As a side note, the legacy my dad works for turned me down and I happily landed at another legacy shortly thereafter, so it’s good to not limit oneself.)

Overall, this has all the trappings of some cheesy politician trying to run for local office, compete with the use of family photos etc. Personally, I found the use of the family exploitative to try and make himself a more sympathetic character. What really did it for me were the videos which were of embarassingly poor content, and also betrayed some of his thoughts cloaked in “humor,” like not being made a check airman for looking too young, and hurting his chances at SWA and not applying to other airlines etc.

It’s hard to rip on a guy that is enthusiastic, but this isn’t really all that creative, just Facebook profile part 2 and the content is just too contrived and really there is just some growing up that needs to take place here .

 

^^^ Amen and pass the ammo

 

agree with all of the above....but me thinks HR/Etc will "pick up on this story" and he gets an interview
