A Fort Pierce man had himself videotaped jumping off a causeway bridge to get a little more attention for his resume, authorities said.
A police spokeswoman said Christopher Warren Grima, 25, is applying for a six-month job paying $105,000 on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. She said Wednesday's stunt was supposed to make his application shocking so that his prospective employers would give him a closer look.
Grima told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers that he tried to leave quickly, but the police arrived before he could get out of the water. Grima said he wasn't sure about the legality of the jump, which he guessed was at least 40 feet, but he knew he wasn't supposed to do it.
Grima received a court summons for breach of peace and disorderly conduct.

The World for People who Think
Oh God, at first I thought this is some kind of metaphor. But this guy actually jumped of the bridge. Can’t believe there are people this desperate to get a job. Well, you can’t blame them regarding the situation in our country today. The unemployment rates are quite high so you have to stick out to get noticed. I’d recommend services like [Link] to get a small advantage while applying for a job. It helped me quite a lot when I was searching for a job. I wish you all best of luck, also do not jump of bridges.
