Out: Resumes. In: Billboards?
The investment paid off for a 22-year-old man who put his face on an electronic billboard in Minneapolis.
Bennett Olson said in an email Monday he has taken a job at Laser Design & GKS Services, a 3D scanning company in Bloomington. Olson wrote he is excited to take a sales and marketing associate position…
In April, Olson paid $300 for an 8-second time slot on an electronic billboard near downtown Minneapolis. His ad was up for 24 hours, rotating with other ads on the billboard. The words “Hire Me!” appeared next to his website addressand a picture of his face.

Billboard that wasted $250,000 of one chick’s petty cash: In 2010, YaVaughnie Wilkins paid for billboards in several cities to embarrass her ex-boyfriend, Oracle President Charles Phillips, for cheating on her with his wife.
