Girl Sings to Jon Stewart to (hopefully) Become Next Daily Show Correspondent

We’re no strangers to #HireMe campaigns here on Corn on the Job.  We’ve talked about campaigns for folks wanting to work at Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, hockey & sports sales, and even someone who just wanted to get a job in New York City.

Today we’re sharing a video resume from Jannesse Davidson.  She’s hoping that her song to Jon Stewart will land her an interview and eventually, a job as the next Daily Show Correspondant. Take a look at her video and stop back for my comments below.

 

Let it be known, I am not the most political person that this world has to offer, but the song kept my interest and I was inclined to stay until the very end.  A song is difficult to pull off and takes a bit of courage.  While it’s much more entertaining, you can also lose the audience quickly if the singer’s voice is lame or if the words used are corny/come off as trying too hard.

Will this be enough to gain attention from Jon Stewart?  

Well, all we know so far is that a video has been created.  What we don’t know is, (and I will be following up with Jannesse) how is this video being sent?  Is she using social media to distribute the video and make sure the YouTube page is seen?  Is a link being sent in an email?  These are all of the questions that candidate’s must ask themselves when employing a #HireMe campaign.

It’s not always enough to just be creative and develop the content.  The #HireMe campaign must include tactics for reaching the target audience as well, which can take some extra time to do right, before it becomes a viral success.

What do you think?  Will she get an interview?  Will she be hired?  What else would you like to see her accomplish with her #HireMe campaign?
