My local paper had an article on a woman who applied for a job at our minor league baseball park.
At the time that she applied this woman was over 65 years of age, she had no relevant experience, had only ever worked part time jobs and was just looking to get a job selling tickets. “I thought it would be fun. I also knew I didn’t stand a chance of getting the job on my very limited resume alone and that I needed to do something to catch their attention.”

I also knew I didn’t stand a chance of getting the job on my very limited resume alone and that I needed to do something to catch their attention.”
This very clever woman decided to create and include that standard of baseball culture, a baseball card. She included this along with her resume and it did the trick. The hiring manager commented: “We wouldn’t have considered her at all except for her having included the card. It showed us she was creative, had a sense of humor and that she had initiative.”
Now 73, this woman has been with the baseball park for several years and runs the office for them.
So, what are you doing to set your proposals apart for all the others?
