Billboard CV helps French man Laurent Lebret land a job Jan. 6 (UPI) -- A French man who had the big idea of putting his resume on a billboard now has something else -- a job. In an effort to make his credentials stand out from other job-seekers in France, Laurent Lebret plastered himself on a billboard outside the town of Antibes on the French Riviera. The 41-year-old had been out of work for six months so he decided to do something a little bit out of the ordinary. The billboard featured a photo of Lebret wearing a suit and a Christmas hat alongside the caption, "For Christmas, I just want a job." Holiday resort firm Azureva offered Lebret a position as an operations manager, apparently impressed that he is trilingual and had experience working in tourism, leisure and the restaurant industry. Other unemployed workers may want to try a similar strategy because Lebret was apparently bombarded with numerous calls and messages about various positions. [The Local] [Europe 1]
