Man applies for Snapchat job with hilarious use of the app

Elski Felson has applied for a job at Snapchat by using the photo messaging app as a video CV.

“I say ditch the paper résumé! It's time for a new model,” says Felson, who published his Snapchat Story on YouTube last week.

The video is a compilation of evidence that Felson has the right skills for the job. He tackles each requirement individually with clips of him showcasing his aptitude, but in a non-conventional way.

For example, in response to Snapchat asking for a ‘multi-tasking rockstar’, Felson records himself spinning a basketball on his finger while riding a bike with no hands. While he showcases his ‘strong writing’ ability by attaching a weight to his hand as he uses a pen and paper.

Other skills include his ‘great judgement’ - proved by guessing the weight of an onion correctly in a supermarket – and his ‘phenomenal presentation skills’ exhibited by laying out a selection of treats on a plate creatively.

He ends his video by saying: “What your app has done for me means a lot to me and to be part of the team behind Snapchat would literally be a dream come true.

“Snapchat, I’m telling ya, I’m the man for the job.”
