My friend Jedediah Baker submitted this short clip (along with some of his portfolio) when applying for a creative position at The Idea Factory.

I think the idea of submitting a job application without a resume is a terrific way to stand out.

I have always complained about references on resumes. I hate that they are such an integral part of the resume because they penalize the loyal employee. After working my last position for two years my old references seemed obsolete. One of those references was a professor I had one semester who I am sure could barely have tons to say about a student she hadn’t seen in years.

Anyways, I thought this a very clever way to combat the traditional resume.
