Product placement

heypretus.com: (a) it ACTS — the URL is displayed on screen as the destination for the candidate's resume and application, and the video's narrative centers on the HR director's reaction to the application submitted through this service. Removing it would remove the product being promoted. Brink & Tiller: (b) it merely APPEARS — it is the name of the fictional company the HR director works for; removing it would not change the promotional nature of the video.

How I expect the HR department to move after my first investment banking application (Im cooked) ROBERT BRADSHAW HR Director, Brink & Tiller heypretus.com

Transcript

Well the second I saw Corey's resume I knew I had to send it straight up to our CEO. I mean we're talking about an applicant who not only got into the University of Washington School of Communication but also managed to graduate in four years with a Bachelor of Arts. This kid's only 22 but according to his resume he already has experience in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. We're really going to have to move fast to get this guy. Bradshaw went on to say that company heads could barely believe the candidate had two years of experience working at his college newspaper and had even taken a full four years of high school Spanish. Since receiving the application, Bradshaw claims the company has made numerous attempts to reach Wilhelm. Hi Corey, this is Rob Bradshaw, HR director over here at Brink and Tiller. Yeah, I just wanted you to know that we are very interested in you coming in as soon as possible. Hi Corey, yeah, just checking in to see if you got my first message. Hey, sorry to keep bothering you.
