I jumped around and my dogs looked at me in horror like somebody was breaking in or something. Bankey told Mashable of the experience, “When I was tagged in the Instagram post, I first thought, ‘Why would they possibly tag me in something?’ Once I saw what it was, I was in total disbelief. The post started on Instagram, but the image of two smiling employees holding a sign asking Bankey to join the team was soon shared to Twitter and Facebook before going semi-viral. As a platform that’s all about making one-on-one connections via marketing, HelloWorld was practicing what they preach by sending the job offer via Bankey’s preferred mode of communication, social media.

Take a close look at this lineup and one sees a broad variety of music genres, but check out the titles to get a load of the main message – they need this candidate, and they’re not afraid to say it!

So, if high schoolers can put themselves out there like that, maybe employers can too? Yet these teens set aside those fears, and craft shared interests and inside jokes into a special experience for another person. Imagine, these high schoolers are risking rejection and public humiliation at a time in their lives where social judgment is swift and often cruel. Think about it, these eccentric invites are actually really brave. A post shared by Prom, Hoco, Sadies, & more! 💕💍 on at 4:42pm PST
