Consider harnessing all of your unemployed energy and focus on your application to one of the offices featured in on the Travel Channel‘s Extreme Workplaces. The segment certainly highlights some outrageous organizations- search engine headquarters where people skip the stairs and take the slide; a workplace with a hidden entrance; offices where employees can surf before noon. Case in point? Ebay.
Sure, the digs are nice, but pay close attention to the other features Ebay values: employee morale and happiness, creativity, industry understanding, and (most importantly) love of the brand itself. The same is true of JMP Creative, another firm included in the countdown.
Perhaps it’s no wonder that these two companies alone generate millions of dollars each year in revenue. Some might point to the killer perks these places offer (HEL-LO, you can play with toys), but my guess is that it stems from the enthusiasm and creativity of the employees- and you don’t necessarily have to be surrounded by a mountain of action figures to harness either trait. Be sure to relay that to employers successfully, and soon you may find yourself working your way up to an office oasis.
