Job hunting has become almost like the Hunger Games, where multiple people are fighting to be chosen for just one spot. Folks have to face rejection upon rejection until they finally get an offer from one company. It’s a difficult job market, and people have to try their best to be hired.
With so much on the line, it’s no wonder that some people have resorted to extreme measures just to get noticed by the hiring team. This list is full of those creative and unhinged folks who did bizarre things to try and get a job.

Lied and said I could ski. And they said “like professsionally?” And I said “yes” and they said “confident enough to ski alongside the British Olympic Skiing team and Royal Family” and I said “yes” and got the job the next day.

I door dashed a box of Krispy Kreme to a local marketing agency with a personalized note. They rejected the order and I never got a job. Sigh.
