Could free doughnuts land you into your dream job? For Lukas Yla, a doughnut box could be his “out of the box” weapon to jumpstart his career in the American corporate world.
The Lithuanian man with five years of experience devised a noteworthy way to seize his employers’ attention–he simply dressed up as a delivery boy from Postmates, an American delivery firm, to smuggle his way to colossal tech companies in San Francisco.
According to Ad Week, Yla purchases his pastries from his favorite shop, Mr. Holmes Bakehouse. Inside his doughnut box, a note that reads “Most resumes end up in trash–mine in your belly” is visibly printed. It also contains his résumé, three pieces of cream-filled doughnuts, and a URL link to his LikenIn account.

So far, Yla has delivered 40 boxes of the oozing concoctions to 40 companies, 10 which are top Californian ad agencies and the remaining 30 tech companies. He was able to impress the bosses and score 10 job interviews, but he is still waiting for the results of these interviews. “I see better outcomes from targeting tech businesses,” he explained to the news site.
