He made headlines around the world after using his last £500 on a huge billboard advert begging employers to give him a job.
And it appears the ploy paid off after 24-year-old Adam Pacitti landed a position with a top media firm.
Delighted with his new employed status, Mr Pacitti has now used his first pay packet to fund another huge billboard in Shoreditch, London, reading: 'I spent my first wage packet on this billboard. Thank you for helping me.'
Mr Pacitti came up with the idea of the billboard advert after months and months of searching for work.
The billboard in Shoreditch, London, featured a picture of Mr Pacitti with the message: 'I spent my last £500 on this billboard, please give me a job.'
The billboard included the address of a specially created website, where potential employers could watch a video CV and find out more about Mr Pacitti, from Ryde, Isle of Wight.
The site was swamped by more than 1.5 million hits from around the globe and Mr Pacitti found himself at the centre of a social media storm.
He said: 'The original tweet I sent out, telling people what I was doing with a photo of me and the billboard had 1,600 retweets and endorsements from people like Jeremy Vine, Al Murray and Frank Skinner.
'I had thousands of e-mails and an unbelievable amount of interest.'
