About this ebook
Meet Fred Grimes, an ordinary out-of-work guy who has just embarked on the most outrageous job search in the history of employment. From Idi Amin to Playboy, Bill Clinton to Calvin Klein, Fred sent job application letters to more than one hundred of the most famous, unusual, and unlikely people and companies in the world. Fred may be the only man ever to simultaneously apply for jobs as a wine taster, bullpen catcher, Barbara Eden's houseboy, priest, Sea World whale trainer, Santa, Power Ranger, U.S. poet laureate, and American Bandstand dancer.
