The applicant who brought a resume on a pizza box

Back in 2019 I was helping with hiring at a small marketing firm in Omaha and this guy walks in for an interview holding a pizza box... turns out he'd printed his resume on the lid with edible ink. He was totally serious too, said it showed he could 'think outside the box' while we're all staring at pepperoni stains. We didn't hire him but I still wonder if that gimmick ever worked for someone else.

I bet he delivered that resume cold too.

Can't imagine how that must feel... brutal.
