NEW YORK Are you talkin' to me about a job?
A recent MBA graduate who can't find work in his chosen field has resorted to
posting his resume inside the taxi he's been driving around New York City.
James Williamson earned his master's degree in business administration at
Philadelphia's La Salle University. Then he spent four months on interviews
while looking for work troubleshooting electronics, doing technical sales or
writing advertising copy.
When none of that panned out, he got his taxi license a month ago to help pay
his bills.
The native of Durham, N.C., says he posted his resume in the back seat of his
taxi as a last resort, hoping one of his customers might become his employer.
He says he's received a couple of business cards and supportive comments but
no job offers.
