Need a new job? Try a sandwich board

After a year of being laid off by the investment bank Houlihan Lokey, Joshua Persky took the extreme approach of job hunting. Wearing a smart, well made suit, Persky looked as though he belonged in a board room, except that in his job search, he wore a board- a sandwich board boasting the words, "MIT grad for hire". His innovative style finally caught the attention of Elliot Ogulnick of the Manhattan firm Weiser LLP. As of last week, Persky is now the new senior manager for Weiser.
