The Google Job Experiment
Following Igor’s post on The Worst Job In The World I bumped into a nice example how to get a job at a cool agency. Alec Brownstein is a copywriter and was looking for a job. A job at a cool agency. As many people do, he used Google, but not like you would think. See the result.
Alec Brownstein bought Google ad words for the creative directors’ names, which cost him $6. “No one else was bidding on (the names),” he tells MediaBistro, “so I got the top spot for like 10 cents a click.” This got him interviews with everyone except Granger. Reichenthal and Vitrone are both at Y&R NY and the rest is history.

Sexy shit!!
Hope Alec got the job in the media department. Because this is a really cool use of media. The headline of the ad sucked.
Hahaha! This is great. I actually did the exact same thing but with targeted Facebook ads. Worked like a charm!
Now, all I do is recommend that people looking for work use social media and whatnot. Way faster and significantly more fun!

Great idea. It would have been so cool though if he had managed to get the top organic result.
