Hopefully by the time you see this clever resume, its creator won't be looking for a job. Philippe Dubost, a web product manager found a perfect way to make his resume stand out from the stacks of resumes out there; make it look exactly like an Amazon.com product page.

The page itself is filled with all sorts of clever touches, like how there's only one Philippe Dubost left in stock, the customer reviews, the product dimensions describing his height and how the product ships from anywhere in the world. The clever resume is accented by slick integration of [LinkedIn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-roaster) buttons. Dubost also gets bonus points for honesty by giving himself a bunch of one-star reviews.

Seriously, if this incredibly talented and clever guy can't find a job, then all hope is lost for [job seekers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resumedwork) everywhere.
