Meet Leah the Lego-lover. She's looking for an internship at an ad agency, and her résumé is like nothing you've seen before. "I wanted a fun way to stand out to agencies and get my résumé out of the trash can — I've always loved Lego, and I created this set to highlight my creativity, skills, and initiative!" she wrote on Reddit [1]. "It's something I hope to be able to send out along with a job application."
Talk about catching the recruiter's eye. She might be looking for an internship, but someone get this girl a job stat. (If you're feeling inspired, check out other crazy-creative résumé ideas [2].)
