Anyone actively seeking work likely knows how it feels to send out endless CVs, which can be met with deafening silence or rejection.

So why not take a leaf out of Redditor Pastlightspeed’s book (real name Leah), and create a CV in the form of Lego?

Using bricks from her dad's collection she designed a Lego version of herself, complete with custom instructions on assembling her that also highlight her skills and qualities throughout.

As she puts it: “I wanted a fun way to stand out to agencies and get my resumé out of the trash can – I've always loved Lego and I created this set to highlight my creativity, skills and initiative! It's something I hope to be able to send out along with a job application.”

  • Have you gone above and beyond the usual process to land a job? Or has a candidate ever surprised you with an application? Sorry for the glitch but just scroll right down and share your opinions!
