Standing out from the hundreds or even thousands of applications that job recruiters get is no easy task, especially in San Francisco’s hyper-competitive tech industry.

But marketing professional Lukas Yla is hoping to get an edge thanks to his secret weapon: doughnuts.

Yla, who is originally from Europe, told The Next Web that he has been dressing up as a courier and delivering a box of what is ostensibly tasty treats, but also includes a note with a link to his resume.

“Most resumes end up in trash. Mine – in your belly,” reads the note.

The young creative told The Next Web that he’s handed out about 40 boxes of doughnuts since he started his job search, which has led to 10 interviews.

With a success rate of 25 per cent, it might not be long before boxes of goodies from job seekers start showing up at your office.
