I wouldn’t recommend you to do this but in Florida, a man had himself videotaped jumping off a causeway bridge. No, it wasn’t any attempt to escape from the gloomy economy crisis in the United States but just to get himself a little more attention for his resume.
Police there said that the man, Christopher Grima, wanted to apply to a six-month job paying US$105,000 on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the bridge-jumping stunt was supposed to make his application shocking so that his prospective employers would give him a closer look.
According to Grima, he tried to leave quickly after making the 40-foot jump but unfortunately for him, the police arrived before he could get out of the water. He received a court summons for breach of peace and disorderly conduct but at least, he got his video made.
