Nigerian born Alfred Ajani , who made news for standing in a London
Waterloo Station with a placard bearing his CV and an appeal to be
hired for a job, has returned to the same spot to recruit workers to the
company that employed him. Company CEOs were left impressed by the
tenacity of the 22-year-old when he stood at the train station with a
large placard which read “Marketing Graduate (BA Hons 2:1 Coventry Uni) -
Ask for a
CV.”
He received many job offers that day and ended up being employed by a recruitment firm.
Alfred Ajani, a marketing graduate from Coventry university, was hired as a public relations manager by a small recruitment firm.
He is in charge of promoting the company, including on social media and in the press.
Mr Ajani returned to the same station where he originally caught the firm's eye to take another sign picture, this time with "Now I'm hiring" printed on it.
The photo was accompanied by the caption “same spot, different sign.”
Last September the man attracted media attention for the stunt in Waterloo station.
The company Mr Ajani now works for, Asoria Group, is hiring recruitment consultants, and the coverage of the sign picture is likely to bring them increased publicity.
Mr Ajani was hired by the group on the basis that he had come up with an innovative way of gaining media attention for himself during his job search.
In an interview with PCMS group last year after he was hired Mr Ajani advised graduates to take risks.
"Advice I would give to graduates: Don’t be scared; safe is risky. Be ready to promote yourself and your ideas. It only has to work once for it to be a success," he said.
"I am really interested in engaging in self-promotion activities and encouraging passive jobs seekers to get active," the marketing graduate added.
Speaking with Daily Mail, Alfred said it was a great feeling to be back the same place to look for
people who like him a few months ago are looking
for job.
“I've loved my role since taking it and there hasn't been one minute where I've regretted my decision. The company is expanding and we're looking to take people on to the desk where I'm working so we are now searching for graduates, people in the same position I was last year. We've got around 20 vacancies,” he revealed.
