Tweeting For A Job

We thought we’d call out one guy’s Twitter job application that landed him a social media content manager position at BFG Communications, a branding agency.

The company asked for creative applications, so it wasn’t like he was coming out of left field, but Hal Thomas sent a Tweet linking to this fake magazine cover.


The sucking up probably didn’t hurt, but apparently BFG dug the photoshop. Thomas landed the job in November.
