The Story: It's 2008. Irfan is broke, ill, unemployed, and depressed. He's just moved from Stockholm to Copenhagen. He is on the verge of being homeless. Rather than feeling sorry for himself, he decided to try something completely different from mailing his resume to companies and hiring agencies. His approach was so unconventional that his flatmates mocked and laughed at him for days. But he continued and within a week, he had 2 jobs. Benefits of his unconventional approach: - Live comfortably in Scandinavia (for the very first time) - Make some savings - Learn a few new things - Realize with more certainty that jobs aren't for him - Eventually leave Denmark, his Danish green card, his 2 jobs, and become a full-fledged entrepreneur Related Resource: - Personal Branding 101 mega guide — includes case study of how Nina Mufleh managed to get job interviews at LinkedIn, Airbnb, etc.
