We reached out to McDonnell who told us he's "fed up with the usual safe approach to finding a job."

"Most CVs and cover letters out there are so drab and dull, and that's not the kind of job I'm looking for," he said. "I want something exciting and fun, so why not make my resume reflect this ambition?"
