Job hunting in a rough market - question to recruiters and hiring managers

Hey everyone,

A few months ago, I decided to leave my role as a Head of Product Design at a SaaS company to find something new. Since the job market is a bit rough right now, I decided to try something different. Instead of a boring LinkedIn post, I made a video, hoping it would go viral and get me noticed by recruiters. The video did get 12k views, 200+ reactions, and 62 comments, which is great, but it didn't really 'work' for my job search. It was more of a viral hit than a career move.

So, I'm curious: if you watch the video, what's your first impression? Would it make you want to talk to me about a job or should I delete it?

P.S. I knew this was a bit of a wild idea. My thought was, if a company thinks I'm too "crazy" for this, then it's probably not the right place for me anyway.

Appreciate the help!
