It pays to advertise

I have just stumbled upon a fantastic story about a chap who decided that after spending two years unemployed he would take his destiny into his own hands. Armed with a sign saying ‘Please give me a job’ he stood on a busy roundabout during morning rush hour to try his luck.

Within three hours he had achieved his aim – a passing business man stopped, interviewed him and gave him a job.

This just goes to prove that a simple message, delivered directly to a key audience in a way which provokes a positive response is an excellent way to achieve your aim.
