When we posted about Paul Nawrocki wearing a sandwich board advertising himself for a job, many of you say that it would never work.
But such a tactic did work, at least for this guy:
An out-of-work banker who became a symbol of the looming financial crisis by trudging Manhattan streets wearing a sign advertising "MIT grad for hire" has landed on his feet - scoring a well-paying job at an accounting firm.
In a more hopeful sign of the times, Joshua Persky got rid of his sandwich board and demonstrated that creative people can bail themselves out without any help from the government. [...]
What sealed the deal for Joshua? Why, it's a blog:
"The publicity I got from the sandwich board encouraged me to set up a blog to document my experience," said Persky, 49.
A headhunter spotted the blog and brought it to Weiser's attention.
"Obviously, I had vigorous interviews, but I think it was [the blog] which sealed the deal," Persky said.

Ah, yes. Personal responsibility! Which is just code for the feudal pre-destination concept of "deserving one's station in life."
Antifa's absolutely right to point out that such 'gimmick' cases are exceptional. If everyone did it (or something analoguous), we'd just be back to square one and you'd have to figure out an even better way to stand out. It's a zero-sum game.
Every now and again some rich guy says "well, all anyone has to do is stick it to the bastards and get rich, like I did, so I have no sympathy, etc. etc.".
How presposterous this is can be readily understood by imagining a world comprised solely of wealthy people sticking it to each other, there being no other category of people left.
Any social theory that negates itself if applied universally is not one to be taken seriously.
