Creative Job Seeker in Union Square

I often see people begging for money in New York.  Today I saw a guy with a handwritten sign on a street corner outside The Coffee Shop in Union Square.  He wasn't asking for money, he was asking for a job as a director/actor/filmmaker.  Now this is what I call marketing. 

 

Thomas O'Connor from Colorado came to New York in search of a place to put his creative talents to work.  Currently staying with friends in Jersey City, he has taken a novel approach to job hunting.  He is holding a handwritten sign on a street corner.  When asked how it's been going he replied, "I got some business cards yesterday and need to make some calls."  Sadly, he doesn't write about stocks or investing or he'd be writing a blog for The Panelist right now, though he is web savvy enough to have his own web page and a Myspace page promoting himself (We, at The Panelist, don't even have our own MySpace page yet).

Thomas O'Connor Tom, I may not have a job for you but I hope this little promotion helped.

Disclosure:  The Panelist has not yet moved into film but we're thinking about it.  The Panelist is not a job site but if you're interested in writing for us, we are always looking for financially oriented bloggers. 

Disclosures:  The owner of MySpace is Newscorp (NWS -$23.71).  I do not currently own Newscorp.  I would not buy the stock at these prices but would become interested if it fell a bit.
