The IIT-K guy who sold himself on Flipkart is not the first to do so

Most people on the internet are amused after reading the account of the IIT-K guy who tried to sell himself to Flipkart , on Flipkart.
Aakash Neeraj Mittal , currently an IIT K alumnus, was aspiring for the role of Project Manager at Flipkart and he thought the best way to do so might be selling his skill sets on Flipkart.
He has listed himself for a price of Rs 27,60,200 but alas there is no EMI available.
While to many, this might look new and innovative way to highlight your resume but in reality he is not the first one. The credit for this goes to Philippe Dubost who made a fake Amazon page to act as his resume. Dubost resume was termed by Mashable as the Best Online Resume ever! And till date, we think that he deserves that title.
There were subtle traces of humour in his listing such as “Only one left in stick, order soon”. Additionally, as he had made this page from the group up, his attention to detail is worth taking note of.
Even three years after making this page, when you visit it, we were greeted with an update on his employment status as: “March 26th 2013: After 2 months and 1,500,000 visitors, I've found THE job!” and his product listing has now been changed to unavailable.
We wonder now after being lapped by Flipkart, what will be product listing for Mittal.
