The Top Five Interview Stunts That Landed People Jobs . . . and the Top Five That Didn't
CareerBuilder.com asked companies to list the craziest things people did to land a job. A few that WORKED include putting their info on a billboard, performing an original song, and fixing a piece of office equipment during their interview.

5. Fixing a piece of equipment during their interview.

The average AOL subscriber pays $20.03 every month, which means AOL is making $52 MILLION a month from people who still have their accounts. (Consumerist)
