Help Nate Davenport Get a Job at iwearyourshirt.com

0 Shares 0 Shares ×

This post is slightly different, in that I’m helping a friend help a friend out.

Last night, I saw a tweet from Jason Crouch about helping his buddy Nate Davenport out. The gist of the tweet is that Nate is trying to win a job at the very cool iwearyourshirt.com, where companies pay to have their brand promoted on a shirt, in a video.

IWYS started as one guy in 2009, but is now looking to have five folks on the roster in 2011. Nate wants to be one of them.

Why am I sharing this video here?

Because I think it speaks of how we view and use social media, and the relationships built from it. I know Jason, and I trust him. If he likes someone enough to want to help, I’m in. Jason has “proven” himself time and time again, so if I can promote his “business” (in this case, Nate) then I will.

I think that’s a good lesson in how businesses could move forward with customers, no?

Anyhoo… Here’s Nate’s video. After watching it, why not pop over to Nate’s page at iwearyourshirt itself and give him a votes up if you like it? Maybe Nate can crack that addiction after all, and get his ideal job into the bargain…

Cheers!

At a minimum, this should get him an interview! Nice job at increasing the odds. It was a fun video, thanks for sharing.

I love how this really shows the human side of social media and how the connections we make really do matter.

@Chris_Eh_Young Hi Chris, agree mate. Jason didn't need to "pitch", or "sell" - he just needed to ask, and because of the relationship you mention, it was a no-brainer.

Danny - Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for your kind words here. Also, thank you very much for promoting this video in an effort to help my friend Nate. He's a great guy, and a super-talented musician. I met him at SXSW, and I've seen him a few times since then. I hope he gets this new "gig" for 2011. He deserves the shot.
