GTFO by 9AM plz. Security here will help you not get lost." routine earlier this year, the only reason I found another job was because of contacts I had met at conferences and a recommendation from one of my former co-workers.

Quite honestly, if I was in a position to hire someone, and someone submitted a video like this, I'd absolutely look at the resume and give an interview based on the willingness to do whatever it takes to find a job. Someone who doesn't take himself too seriously is a big asset in any job industry, especially where ego can make people into total shitheels.
