Originality? Good. Stunts? Maybe, not.

It’s good to be original in your approach to obtaining a job, but some declarations of a unique soul can be seen as threatening, obsessive and unsound.

Below begins an article one should read in trying to find that thin line between original and scary.

“Imagine you’re trying to fill a job. Now consider whether you would want to hire a candidate who:

• Puts up posters of himself in your company parking lot.
• Attaches pineapple scratch-and-sniff stickers to his resume.
• Announces his candidacy with a singing telegram.
• Sends lottery tickets with her resume.
• Rents a billboard that you can see from your office to list his qualifications.
• Bakes cookies with icing to write several reasons why she should be hired.
• Delivers pre-paid Chinese food, including a fortune cookie with his name and number.”
