A French man with no job tried a new way to get one. He put his CV on a billboard next to a busy road. It was four metres long. It showed the man wearing a Santa Claus hat. His message said: "Trilingual operations manager seeks position in hotels, restaurants, tourism and leisure." About 70,000 people a day saw the CV. Laurent Le Bret, 41, said: "All I want for Christmas is a job." His idea worked. He got a job at a holiday resort ten days later.
The billboard company helped Mr Le Bret. It gave him the space for free. Mr Le Bret saved 2,000 euros (about $2,700) because he did not have to pay. The company's CEO spoke to the France 24 news agency. He said it was an interesting idea and he wanted to help Mr Le Bret. He said he was happy it worked and that Mr Le Bret got a job. Many people contacted Mr Le Bret. They want to do the same thing. There are 3.3 million people in France looking for a job.
