Steve Jobs’ handwritten job application from 1973 is up for auction again, this time as a non-fungible token (NFT) version as well as the original physical document. It is said to be the 'world’s first' in which the digital version of the job application is up in direct competition with the real physical copy in an effort to find which has more value. The application does not show which role and what company Jobs was applying for. Steve Jobs’ handwritten job application fetched 162,000 pounds (about ₹1.6 crore) in an auction by Charterfields in March 2021. The same application was previously sold at an auction in 2018 for over $175,000 (about 1.2 crore).
