From Delivery to Dream Job: Zomato Agent’s Handwritten Internship Plea Goes Viral

 

A Bengaluru delivery agent for Zomato turned a run-of-the-mill food delivery into a bold career change by including a handwritten note with a biryani order, offering a summer internship in marketing (specifically not sales). The note read, "I am a college student seeking a summer internship in marketing (NOT sales). Do contact me. 6261724837 (Only WhatsApp)," and a regret for the "terrible handwriting" on the reverse side.

 

The genuine and creative pitch was spotted by a Shopflo worker who shared it on LinkedIn, prompting mass admiration for the delivery partner's hustle and sense of direction. The post went viral on social media, praised for its unvarnished honesty and unconventional style in a time when digital resumes dominate. Several noted how street-level experience in the real world could be invaluable for marketing careers.

 

This tale highlights how perseverance and ingenuity can bring forth unforeseen opportunities—even by a simple handwritten letter.
