Get a New Job with a Basket of Fruit

If you’ve been struggling to get a new job for awhile and haven’t had any success use a basket of fruit to get noticed by the HR departments at companies where you want to get hired. These days, when hundreds of thousands of people are out of work and there are dozens of applicants for every job that becomes available having a great resume isn’t enough. HR professionals and recruiters are receiving thousands of resumes every day. You need to do something to get noticed and to make them want to read your resume. Sending a basket of fruit can be exactly the hook that you need to get a hiring agent interested in you. It shows that you take initiative and that you think outside the box to accomplish a goal, which are qualities that every company wants in their employees.

Find out who does most of the hiring at the company you want to work at. Order a basket of fruit that contains a nice assortment of citrus fruit. It doesn’t have to be a huge fruit basket, that could get expensive if you are sending them to multiple companies, but it should still look nice. You can find lovely fruit baskets in any price range so don’t worry that you’ll have to spend a lot of money you don’t have to do this. You will be able to find assorted fruit baskets that fit into your budget. Have the basket of fruit sent to your home, and then tuck an envelope containing a resume and cover letter into the basket. Address the basket to the HR department chairperson at the company you are trying to get hired at and send it. The HR department staffers will be thrilled to get a beautiful basket full of oranges, grapefruit and other treats. If you want to really impress them send a fruit basket containing fresh citrus fruit and chocolates or nuts. You resume will definitely get moved to the top of the pile.

You can also send a fruit basket as a follow up gift to a recruiter or HR professional that you’ve already had an interview with. If you feel the interview went well and you want to really seal the deal and convince that person that you are the right person for the job sending a basket of fruit with a simple thank you note makes a great impression.
