He sent Airbnb his résumé on a balloon — and landed a contractor gig
Logan Ivey wanted to make videos for Airbnb. So, he put his résumé on a balloon — and the company offered him a contractor gig.
Logan Ivey crafted a unique résumé for Airbnb by placing his resume on a balloon. The video he made about this creative approach garnered over 16 million views, catching the attention of Airbnb itself. In an email to Business Insider, Ivey stated, "There is just no competing with that with a 1 page resume." Ivey has been creating videos full-time since 2022 and has helped grow Matter Neuroscience's Instagram following to 300,000.
When seeking a new gig, he researched the best companies with the least impressive Instagram accounts, finding Airbnb to be particularly attractive. He placed his résumé on a star-shaped, deflated balloon, compared his engagement rates to Airbnb's, wrote "Hire me" in big letters, and mailed it in an Airbnb-style lockbox. His creative résumé earned him a contract gig with Airbnb, where he will create travel videos.
