Get an Tattoo, You are Guaranteed an Interview - True Story
Things that make you go hmmmmm...I cannot make this stuff up...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The co-founder of early AI startup LemonLime set off an uproar after offering attendees at a networking party a dare of sorts: anyone who got a company tattoo at the event would get an instant interview.
The idea was to “meet exceptional people, and find out which of them are just as crazy as we are,” Jordan Zietz posted on LinkedIn, adding that he had brought a tattoo artist along for the occasion. “We are bold, we take risks, and we do things that haven’t been done before.”
Seven people, he wrote, took him up on the offer, leaving the San Francisco event last weekend inked with a permanent tattoo. “If you’re reaching out to us to apply for a job, you might want to take notes,” he added.
The online outrage erupted almost instantly—some from people venting about “Orwellian” Silicon Valley startup culture. Others decried a hiring environment in which job seekers have to jump through even more hoops just to get a foot in the door.
“The job market cannot be this cooked,” one X user wrote, “that kids have to get permanent tattoos to get interviews.”
