Good for him. In today's LinkedIn world, this dude is actually off the internet trying to find a job. Sure, the sign is probably a gimmick, but it'll get him noticed and I'll bet he has a few interviews by next week.

With the lowest unemployment rate in years, he must be a low performer to not have a job.

There would be a bunch of people begging for jobs but still no jobs to give them

Had a guy walk into our office yesterday. He was hot, sweaty, and dressed like a plant construction worker. He asked to use our phone. He calls his buddy and says "Hey, I got the job....Yeah, $20/hour....They want me to take a drug test, I'm walking their now...do you think I will pass?...They've already sent my paperwork over there...Does your brother have any of that drug clean out stuff...I'm walking their now...should I just not go?...Yeah, I probably won't pass."

I couldn't believe it. Dude didn't even have a phone to call anybody or a car to get around and blew off a job offer making $20/hr.

I hope someone in the media asks him how many windshield cleanings he did. Cause I dont see the bucket for him to be ready to do that he offers.

Hope he it works out for him.

Im thinking jobs arent just that easy to just get. Kind of a weird spot with FY budgeting, etc. So kind of the perfect time to do something like this. Should have puts some details on the sign though. Like sales, accountant, etc
