People Really Win
A recent graduate with a MBA who resorted to walking around with a “Hire Me!” sandwich board has found a job . . . handing out fliers while wearing a sandwich board! Just kidding!

Barth’s creative job hunting, which The Post first reported in August, has now landed him a position at telecommunications consulting company Broadview Networks.
The budding account executive was discovered when Alan Weissman, sales director for Broadview Networks, saw Barth, 25, standing on 42nd Street next to Grand Central Station.
On Sept. 19, Broadview confidently offered the enterprising young man a job selling Internet and long-distance service to small businesses.
