Roger Keynes: Jobless Writer
Will Think for Salary
After being "let go", this was an idea to get myself a new job, or an interview, or at the very least noticed... in the middle of the GFC. Hand made business cards were delivered to high end ad agency CDs and Senior Creatives. It was also run as an animated home page banner ad on local ad industry website Adtown.com.au. So far, the job hasn't happened, but new ad agency contacts and quite a few freelance jobs have.

Like your thinking OOWAG, but sadly no.
Just a spin on an obvious angle... without sacrificing dignity. ;)

While I'm not entirely devoid of empathy, cardboard signs are overused in advertising. This is one explanation as to why he hasn't found work yet.
Nice idea.
Good luck finding that job!
Cooooool!
Way over done, doesn't show much creativity

Translation: I am an unemployed, heavy-drinking, formerly overpaid creative, who wants to convey the attitude of a hungry junior, but yet makes it abundantly clear that unless you pay me like the diva I am, I won't lift a finger. And my ideas are stale... in fact... I steal them from the homeless.
Words truly, Chovaleoni
I am not a heavy drinker.
Not on freelance income!
And, best of luck with your cursor problem. ;)
