Leah Bowman used LEGOs to create a unique resume, which is already making her stand out from the crowd.
If you’re one of many people looking for jobs these days, you know it’s tough to stand out from the competition; having an impressive resume is important, but it’s equally as important to have one that will make you memorably distinctive. Bowman decided that it wasn’t enough for her to hand over a traditional paper resume, so she designed a LEGO model of herself along with a cover letters describing her skills and qualifications. So far, her “resume” has received a lot of attention from more than just prospective employers. It referrers to her in the third person and explains her skills accordingly, for example, “Leah comes with an eye for design and fantastic people skills.”
This technique is visionary and noteworthy; it shows that she can think outside of the box and utilizes her skills in marketing and creativity.
