This guy wants to work at Spotify \u2014 so he\u2019s spent 100 hours and $700 on a personal campaign telling them so.<\/p>\n

John Jaxheimer, 42, was worried that his resume was destined for the recycle bin if he took the traditional route of applying without someone pulling for him on the inside. He applied online in January, after all, and didn\u2019t get a response from the company until five months later. <\/p>\n

He launched his \u201cDear Spotify\u201d campaign this summer, using his own money to design, print and plaster more than 100 posters (in Spotify\u2019s font and colors) near the company\u2019s New York office, which feature song lyrics and hidden messages telling execs why they should hire him.
