NYC taxi driver with MBA pastes resume in back seat

NEW YORK: A recent graduate with a master's degree in business administration who can't find work has pasted his resume on the yellow taxi he's be

en driving around New York City to help pay his bills.

James Williamson earned his MBA at Philadelphia's La Salle University. Then he spent four months going to interviews while looking for work troubleshooting electronics, doing technical sales or writing advertising copies. When that didn't pan out he got his taxi license a month ago.

The Durham, North Carolina, native says he pasted his resume in the back of his taxi as a last resort and he's hoping one of his customers might become his employer.

He says he's received a couple of business cards and supportive comments but no job offers.
