I think my friend Jon Sterling has the process of weeding people out down to a science…
Best decision in October so far is this ad text: "Instead of a cover letter, I would like to see three slides about a passion of yours."
— Jon (@mistersterling) October 4, 2013
If you want a job with Oh Hey World — please do NOT send a cover letter, send a few slides about your passions instead. Prove you give a crap about something, as there clearly aren’t enough people in the world that care about anything.
Are you one of them?
Prove it.
