Use Fruit Baskets to Get Your Resume Noticed

In this economy finding a job has become increasingly difficult, even for people who are exceptionally qualified. Sending fruit baskets is a great way to get your resume noticed among the hundreds or even thousands of other resumes that a company is receiving for an open position. Most people think that sending gifts like fruit baskets is too expensive to do every time they send a resume in for a position but fruit baskets come in all price ranges so finding one that will fit your budget won’t be hard. If you’re worried about the cost of the fruit try only sending gifts to the companies that you really want to work for. Send in a resume and then follow up by sending a delicious basket filled with oranges, grapefruits, or other seasonal citrus fruits. The hiring manager or supervisor will certainly notice when a beautifully bright basket of fruit arrives and will be sure to remember who sent it.

When you’re sending fruit as a gift to an office make sure that you get a variety of fruit, so that everyone in the office can find something that they like. Not only will you be impressing the hiring manager, you’ll also be sowing the seeds of good will among your future co-workers by sending a gift that they can enjoy as well as the hiring manager or HR director. These days tricks that used to work in the past for getting your resume noticed like using fine stationary, or colored stationary, or using a creative font to print your resume are no longer enough. Companies are getting thousands of resumes emailed and mailed in for every available job. If you want to grab their attention sending fruit baskets is the perfect way to make them notice you in a positive way. After you’ve had an interview instead of sending a thank you email send a fruit basket full of tasty oranges or grapefruits with a little chocolate or with mixed nuts. Your name will be remembered and when it comes time to make a decision something small like the fact that you sent a thoughtful and tasty gift instead of just sending an email could be exactly what you need to put you over the top so that they hire you instead of someone else. These days finding a job means thinking outside the box and being willing to go the extra mile. Sending fruit baskets tells potential employers you are creative, motivated, and thoughtful.
