Who among you is brave enough to hire Jayson Littman?

The guy wants to work in marketing, advertising or PR. And he’s got good chops: Twice in three months he’s orchestrated one-man media stunts that have made him a darling of The New York Times and The New York Observer. But HR managers, take note: He really, really likes to hug people.

In April, Littman, 27, a financial analyst at a firm he declines to name, earned 1,000 words in the Times by giving out free hugs in Washington Square Park.
