You're totally right about why we decided to go this non-traditional route for job applications. The normal stuff is so boring and isn't helping anyone. Job applicants don't know if they really want the job because it sounds just like the last 100 listings they've read and the hiring manager has a hard time finding who is the perfect fit because everyone's pretty much using the same resume templates from Word. (Side note: Don't use Word's templates if you can avoid it!) The only downside I'm finding to this is that we can only hire one person, so some people will end up disappointed. Just the reality of it. But, thanks to the amazing efforts you and others are putting in, we're starting to draw media attention, so who knows, maybe we'll be able to find some other orgs that want to hire our applicants too! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with :) Cheers, Kevin Hi Devon,
