There are many ways to impress a hiring manager when youre trying to get a job.
Blackburn really wants a job at Nike.
But in a world filled with qualified candidates, it can be hard to stand out.
What better way than to send a cake to a big party, she explains.
The planning then began, and it was full of logistical challenges.
The 27-year-old found an Albertsons grocery store that would make a cake with an edible picture on it.
She then used Instacart to get the dessert from the store to Nikes headquarters.
At this point, it wouldnt have been possible without her Instacart shopperDenise Baldwin.
Baldwin navigated the Nike campus, cake in hand, and eventually got it to the right department.
I waited, and they called him down.
It took a few minutes, and then he came down, the Instacart shopperrecalled.
He said to me, Oh, a cake, its too nice for me to cut it into.
And I go, Yeah, its, its pretty awesome the way she thought of putting her resume.
This was meant to be.
I am a mom and I am tired of doing Instacart.
I know I have more abilities and qualifications to get something better.
I’m so glad this worked for the both of us.
