So Funny! This Guy Built An Entire Website To Convince Google To Hire Him
Matthew Epstein built an entire Google-styled website to convince the big G to hire him as a product marketing manager. It’s called googlepleasehire.me.
The site is complete with recommendations, a video in a Parisian mansion, and a black Google+ inspired navigation bar. Googlepleasehire.me got some buzz after making it onto Hacker News.
If this website can’t win Epstein an interview with Google, we don’t know what will. Well, besides really amazing grades in college and a knack for mind-bending riddles.
