The promotion targets job-seekers in New York City, one of the nation's most competitive job markets. As part of the campaign, applicants can submit their resume details and the address of their desired employer through ResZAmes.com. Pizza Hut will select the lucky winners whose resumes will be printed on custom pizza boxes and hand-delivered to the headquarters of their chosen employers. Each ResZAme contains a medium-sized cheese pizza — making the delivery almost impossible for hiring managers to ignore.

"Finding a job can be daunting, especially during this key hiring season," Melissa Friebe, Pizza Hut's chief marketing officer, said in a statement. "We wanted to help job-seekers break through the clutter by delivering their resumes in a way that's as exciting as an office pizza delivery."
