from Pizza Hut & Birkin Bags | The Tim Dillon Show #415 · #415
5 min
Continuing the Pizza Hut bit, Tim offers $1,000 to anyone who can prove the pizza-resume trick actually got them a job, comparing the fantasy to a rom-com and insisting real life doesn't work that way.
- Pizza Hut's pizza box resume delivery scheme for job applicants in New York City's tough job market.
- Tim on how desperate Pizza Hut's situation must be to devise this ridiculous marketing stunt.
- The absurdity of receiving a non-pizza item in a pizza box when customers expect actual food.
- Tim imagines a hiring manager chewing pizza while rejecting the applicant and thanking them for the meal.
- The unemployed job seeker has to pay for the pizza sent to corporations that don't want to hire them.
- This scheme belongs in a 1990s romantic comedy, not real life—a fat secretary eats your resume.
- Society's obsession with whimsy: people think doing something unique and fun solves serious problems like a bad job market.
- Tim's examples of increasingly ridiculous delivery methods—wrapping a resume around a griddle, sending Raising Canes to a bank.
- Fast food tricks will not work to get you employed; there's no creative shortcut to the job market.
