Recently, a man from Kolkata designed a rather quirky application for the post of copywriter at the food delivery app Swiggy. Rohit Sethia prepared a pitch consisting of 11 pages enlisting hilarious reasons as to why he is the perfect candidate for the job. He also tagged Devanshi Dhingra, assistant manager at Swiggy in his post.
''Hi, Swiggy! Devanshi Dhingra. saw your post that you're hiring copywriters. here are some of the many reasons why you should consider me! looking forward to hearing from you guys!,'' he wrote on LinkedIn.
''Copywriter hungry for Swiggy! Hi Swiggy, saw your post about hiring copywriters. Hungry for my skills? See my deck,'' the first page read. He started the pitch by saying that he doesn't follow Zomato but later added that he now follows it for competition purposes. He further described himself as funny, and an aspiring stand-up comedian, who keeps up to date with all internet trends.
