So I am graduating soon, but I still need a job. Knowing so, I came up with a witty technique to get noticed at my Dream Job, Saatchi & Saatchi LA. By using Facebook’s Advertising I was able to sell myself while engaging SSLA. In this ad a Call-to-Action and a direct link to my LinkedIn profile established further information directly to my target audience. After two weeks and only spending $3.43, Saatchi & Saatchi LA began sending me messages through LinkedIn praising me for my efforts.
Behold, my Facebook Job Experiment.

Great example,Steven,
How did the interview turn out?
It went great.. The first position I didn’t have enough experience for, but the second one is still pending!
I’ve seen a similar experiment, but with Google Ads. Thanks for sharing; it was pretty inspiring. If my current interviews & contacts don’t go anywhere I will consider that. It amazed me that it did not cost much at all!
Thanks! Alec Brownstien’s Google Job Experiment is where I found my inspiration. The only real major differences is time & targeting techniques. His experiment was over the course of a couple months, mine less than a week. He Targeted people by name, my experiment targeted workplaces. Because of the larger audience, it ended up working out well because a couple of my interviewers also recalled the advertisement.
