Just before noon today I received a phone call from my sister.
“You need to look outside in a few minutes, there’s a guy wearing a big sign and walking down the street.”
Reason #262 why I keep my camera in my purse.
I grabbed said camera and ran out to the balcony. I couldn’t see him yet, so I went downstairs to wait.
There he was three doors down from me, coming up the sidewalk.
I greeted him and asked if I could take his picture.
He asked if I wanted to a picture of the other side.
Of course I did!
We chatted for a few minutes.
Turns out he’s from Redwood Falls, Minnesota, but came up here to sandbag during the flood this past spring.
He liked the community so much he decided to make his move. He’s just up here visiting right now, looking for a job, but hopes to move soon.
He said he’d send me a resume (which I’ll post here as soon as I receive it) and he didn’t mind if I posted his image and this story online.
If your business is Fargo-based and you’re looking for a new marketing manager who obviously isn’t afraid to put himself out there, this could be your guy!

Great Story! – I saw a woman in Irvine, CA standing at an intersection in professional attire w/ a similar type of sign as she was looking for work. She recieved a lot of attention and I even saw someone pull over to talk w/ her. – In this job market even w/ all the high tech networking seems like this approach really “stands” out… =)
No kidding! I also saw on the national news that a guy set up a desk near a busy commute road. He got a job offer in the same day!
