A student makes the buzz by hanging his resume on his backpack

To achieve their goals and find a contract, some are not lacking in audacity. We remember in particular the tagged CV or the Pokémon CV. This time around, it's a "backpack" resume that's making the rounds. Pierre Piffard, its inventor, is a student from Avignon. He told his story to La Provence .

Not long ago, the young man was accepted into a Parisian school. Problem:he must quickly find a work-study contract. Despite numerous applications, Pierre Piffard's research was unsuccessful. Disappointed but not resigned, the student, who wants to stand out, has an idea. While he is in an event fair, he writes on a sheet that he is looking for a professional contract and sticks it on his bag. The positive reactions are not long in coming.

Success is there

Intoxicated by this result, Pierre decides to perfect his idea, by printing his CV on a cardboard and hanging it on his bag. He publishes the photo of his creation on Facebook and the success is there:in a few days, a dozen companies contact him. The young man is even challenged by recruiters in the subway! Today, he is confident about his research and this story will have taught him one thing:"We are in a complicated system but you have to show that you are motivated and it ends up paying off".
