BuzzFeed hopeful gets backing from Obama in video CV

A video producer hoping to be hired by BuzzFeed has called on the leader of the free world to give his application some extra clout.

Jim Cliff is hoping to be hired by the British arm of the international video and news platform, but instead of applying traditionally he uploaded a video to YouTube entitled “17 reasons why Obama thinks Buzzfeed should hire Jim Cliff”.

The video splices together a number of videos of the American President’s speeches, with the words forming a praise-filled pitch for a job for Cliff.
