An out-of-work marketing graduate in Dublin has taken a novel approach to job hunting; he’s used his life savings to put up a billboard poster promoting himself on Merrion Road in south Dublin.
Feilim Mac An Iomaire spend €2,000 on the outdoor poster in an attempt to convince would-be employers to contact him, and stop him having to leave the country (how he’s planing on emigrating after spending all his savings on the poster is a question for another day).
Our job hunter has also embraced social media in his search for work, with a Jobless Paddy Twitter account and a Facebook page where people can find out how his job search is going.
