Automotive resumes usually belong to those who work in the automotive industry, but not in this particular case. Denny Poulet is an unemployed engineer and in an attempt to get a job he created an actual automotive resume; he printed his resume onto a car.
His unique way of showcasing his skill-sets included decals of his resume pasted onto a small electric rental car. Upon completion, the French man drove his creation along the streets of Marseille.
He drove around the same route for ten days. Along the way, he would stop and chat with people about his CV and try to make connections with those working in his industry. Surprisingly, his tactic worked and he received some job offers.
