Kelly Kinney Resume Shirt

Los Angeles-based marketing professional Kelly Kinney is looking for a job. See her shirt for details.

According to CNN, she’s been looking for a job for a year and applying to 40 jobs every day. Then last week she got an idea after seeing a man wearing an “Unemployed” shirt. So she put her resume on the front of a shirt and her cover letter on the back. Now she hangs out at coffee shops and busy intersections trying to get the attention of potential employers.

She also has her resume on her car window and sent postcards to potential employers.

“If I can sell myself this well, I can sell your company this well as well,” she said.

Kinney has had a couple job offers, one was revoked after the employer said she was over-qualified. Another was for minimum wage and, according to Kinney, would not support her family.

Too bad when I searched her on Google, I did not find anything other than her CNN story. No online resume. No blog. No LinkedIn page. No Facebook. No YouTube videos. All I found was a page on elance.com: http://kellykinney.elance.com/

Kelly, if you read this, come talk to me!
