Desperate times call for desperate measures. I think this is a brilliant way to stand out in the current job market.

What you said
I think I would personally be charmed by this enough to give it a shot. What can a first interview hurt? At the same time, I feel like people on my team lack a sense of humor sometimes so I wonder if they would balk at this gesture.

Why not? It looks like he went beyond Dunkin’
Yes, he is creative and motivated
I really hope someone did. I haven't been to Dunkin' in a while, but 40 boxes of donuts can't be cheap. As for giving him an interview or not, I'd treat him the same as every other job seeker. If his resume and experience were up to par, I'd give him the interview. If they weren't, I wouldn't.

He did- 10 interviews in a tough San Francisco job market.
Absolutely. If we had a role for someone delivering donuts.

Thanks for breakfast. We’ll keep your resume on file for future opportunities.
Isn’t this story from several years ago? Or is somebody new bringing this up again? Because I have definitely heard this story before.

He’s not the first to try this. This is just the latest. His copy is better that the previous attempts.

This is not a proper response. In the future, please keep to topic and submit this to a more appropriate bowl. Thank you.

UMMM yes. Especially in a creative industry, I would definitely give him an interview.
I love this! And I love sweet treats. In a competitive industry you need to go the extra mile and push to get noticed. This concept is called direct mail and it has been around for decades. It was relied upon a lot before the digital era, but I see it emerging more these days. I personally am creating some action figures which I send to the client. The packaging has their logo on and the content is tailored to the client. They could throw it in the trash but the aim is to give something of value that makes them smile. Or give them something sweet to give them indigestion 😎
For the right industry this is great!
