During the "September Surge," there's an increase in job opportunities across industries but 75% of resumes sent are never read, prompting Pizza Hut to launch "ResZAmes" to help job-seekers navigate heightened competition and distinguish themselves in a crowded field.
In the toughest job market, New York City, Pizza Hut is delivering a helping hand to applicants by printing their resumes directly on pizza boxes and hand-delivering them to corporate headquarters of customer's choosing for free. Inside every ResZAme pizza box is a medium-sized cheese pizza that arrives hot and fresh to capture the attention of a potential employer and make a lasting first impression during a time of increased hiring activity.
Online, Pizza Hut is accepting submissions for ResZAmes for a limited time through September 22nd, 2024.
