I need some clever thoughtfull off the wall ideas, **** knows why i'm asking you lot!

[LeperousDust]

Right applying for a nokia summer job hopefully, the application is pretty strange. For instance:
What are your 3 favourite animals and why?
(500 char. max)

Who was the last person you connected with?
(500 char. max)

Do you believe in magic?
Please discuss
(500 char. max)

I've sorted it all out apart from:
Why does Nokia need you – show us in a photo

Now apart from the obvious banana jokes....*

What can i take a photo of including my nokia phone, that will stand out? I'm struggling to think of anything really different apart from cycling to the top of the pentlands and doing a panoramic shot of me & phone, but tbh i want to send this today and i cba cycling for 4 hours to do that ;D

Ideas on a postcard, and pretty sharpish too?

Cheers everyone!








*Sorry couldn't be bothered finding the colour of the forum background. On a side note i think it should be added to the swatch.

What is the job doing?

If its sales then do something like climb a statue and rubberband a phone to its head then take a pic and say you can sell a nokia to the stoniest of clients?

Yeah they don't actually say what its gonna be doing, but i'm betting sales really.
Get a phone, get a car, and get paid to make connections with Nokia this summer.Thats what i replied too :D

That's a possible idea. Although the only statues i can think of are round Princes Street, and I'd have to be quick otherwise i will be arrested and then won't be a particularly credible candidate ;D I thought about stupid stuff like a handstand on Arthur's seat for no reason, like the attention whore pic, haha. But its wouldn't be half as witty as the rest of my application... I don't want it to let me down...

[kaiowas]

I wouldn't have even bothered filling out the form. Any company that asks that sort of crap for a summer job is so far up it's own arse I wouldn't want to work there.

[LeperousDust]

Well there isn't much to choose from, i'm desperate, its geeky, i get a free phone and paid £7 an hour. I couldn't care how **** they are, i've probably worked for worse in my previous call centre jobs,, i have fairly thick skin and am pretty light hearted when it comes to managerial carp. Granted i could walk into a call centre job tomorrow but i'm not *that* desperate yet :)

I think its a good move Alex, you may aswell do it while you have the opportunity!

I'm not creative... just done Belbin and am not a plant... am a Completer Finisher/Resource Investigator...

Will have a think though! Maybe the goggley eyes could get involved lol.

Mock up a murder with some one being blugeoned to death will a mobile and the caption 'I'd KILL for a job at NOKIA'

That definately wins so far! Love you MB :) But what do you mean mock up? :huh: Calling friends now...

[Belmit]

Get the message 'Connect call to detonate' on the phone display, and take a picture of it with a Nokia building in the background.

'Nokia needs me because... your lives are in my hands.'

[Matblack]

Fake it, or just kill someone if faking it is too much bother ;)

Hahahaha, these ideas are so much better than ours so far. I like this although with the current terrorist climate i'm not sure how well the suited H&S guy behind this application would take that, i like it though ;D.

//Edit: Alas no Nokia branded stores anywhere this end of the country (was willing to drive a fair bit too :p)

[SCM]

Looks at MB's earlier answers then slowly backs away out of the post before the giant phone of doom come my way :p

[Pheebs]

ROFFLECOPTERS @ the piccie!

BwaaaaaahahahahAhaHAHahahAHHAhaahaha!

Brains currently blocked with other wonderful things but if I think of something I'll let you know!

[Justsomebloke]

Paint an N on your left cheek & K I A on your right arse cheek then Bend over & take a pic. Send them that :goatse:

[semi-pro waster]

Phone positioned correctly near your buttocks and a picture with the caption "fully expecting to be shafted by Nokia in the near future".

But Mat's idea is a lot better and more likely to get you a job.

[Von Smallhausen]

What are your 3 favourite animals and why?

Sloth.

They are simply the lazy, tree couch potato, I don't give a sh*t, I will just hang creature that I like and all this with the blessing of nature. They also have a permanent smirk, like that Hazel Blears woman who does all of the above but in the Commons and not a tree.


Who was the last person you connected with?


Our lass. A baby was the result and I have sold the MR2 as a result. Pisser.

Do you believe in magic?

Looking at Roberta on a dancing pole I have to say yes. How does she not fall ? Magic. Magic I tell you.

Also, when you stand up, where does your lap go ? Magic again.

I told you, the babby seat can go on the roof bars.

</faysh>

[LeperousDust]

I think you're over analysing it. It'll be point of sales somewhere and they want someone with half a personality, hence the odd questions to weed out people before the interviews. :)

I've had no better idea's and nor has anyone else i know than what has been suggested in this thread. Belmits had practicality, its pretty easy except i don't have any close Nokia branded shops, but i do like the idea :)

MB's two are good, but ones a challenge i've walked around today trying to find suitable statues i may have missed/taken for granted. But there's sod all i've fell across. The ones i'd like to use are two well respected to play around with i think :(

The bludgeoning to death one is quirky/funny, so i'll give that one a go tomorrow with a friend see how it turns out. I've got ages to hand this in i just want to get it off fairly quickly...

Will sleep on it tonight and see what i can do tomorrow, hopefully its sunny for pretty pictures!

[Darryn]

For the photo i feel youre 5boobs/no faces photo is a winner... thats bound to impress them. :)

// edit reads the thread title, my suggestion isnt clever, thoughtful or off the wall... But everyone likes boobs.;D

[Pumpkinstew]

Get someone to hold your phone close to the camera then go and stand in the distance and pretend you're shouting into a masssive phone:
'Why should you hire me?'
'I'll give you some perspective and I think BIG!'

OR

Write the word 'idea' on a balloon. Inflate the balloon. Sticky tape it to your head so it looks like it's coming out of your ear. Take photo.
