I think she crossed the line from 'I'm so impressed by your company I'll make a big fuss to get hired' to 'I'm mildly unhinged'.

Looks like the site is dog slow and overloaded by a little traffic. Mirrors the target company well.

Just FYI: she's not looking for a CS-related position. She's apparently a great fit for being the CEO's executive admin.<p><a href="http://www.twittershouldhireme.com/executive-admin-to-the-ceo/" rel="nofollow">http://www.twittershouldhireme.com/executive-admin-to-the-ce...</a>

Someone linked her to this comment thread and she responded on her twitter:<p><i>Haha, they aren't very nice over there. Enthusiasm apparently is a threat to the bitter.</i><p><a href="http://twitter.com/jamievaron/status/1307535902" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/jamievaron/status/1307535902</a>

Ever hire someone insanely smart and qualified and had them turn out to be a total dud? Ever object to a candidate, get talked down from a "NO HIRE", and then had that person turn out to be an absolute total rock star?<p>I'd kill for a candidate pipeline that produced people like this. That's enthusiasm, initiative, and (a very small amount of) cleverness.

Twitter at one point had a recruiter specializing in finding female CS people. I'm told they made at least one hire from this source. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets an interview, given Twitter's desire to maintain some gender balance.

Relentlessly resourceful. Twitter's new Founder Associate?<p><a href="http://twitter.jobscore.com/jobs/twitter/founderassociate/bQJwJGQfOr3zBkaaWP50_m" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.jobscore.com/jobs/twitter/founderassociate/bQ...</a>

Interesting idea, but the presentation is remarkably unprofessional. I mean... cookies + me = job? I think that the enthusiasm and originality is great but I just don't understand the tone of the site, considering it's intended application.

My honest opinion, she should be a little more creative.
speekabout 16 years ago
You know... these types of sites are a great way to show your enthusiasm for a specific thing. I made a website (wpi-should-let-me-in.com) a while ago to get me into WPI. It worked, but unfortunately they didn't give me enough money.<p>I wish you good luck and hope that Twitter sees that people like you will certainly be useful/helpful.

Here's my question for Jamie: why?
antipaxabout 16 years ago
... Creepy much? If I saw this, I'd be more creeped out than impressed. Especially the part about dreaming about Evan Williams.
omnivoreabout 16 years ago
Oh and the whole idea is damn clever. She's going to get a job out of it, probably better than the one she's targeting.

On the whole I am unimpressed. The idea is funny, but she doesn't have anything to back her initial wow value.<p>If she really wants to get the job she should incorporate twitter into her site in a unique way and <i>show</i> rather than tell them that she is indeed capable of creative community-building.
markessienabout 16 years ago
She should add a title tag on her front page, and very frankly, some pictures would do well to help her cause.

I did something silly like this too a year back, sent a tweet to Evan Williams asking for a job and he replied too with "Great, Do you code" kind of tweet.<p><a href="http://twitter.com/azharcs/status/781605391" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/azharcs/status/781605391</a>

We actually just had a guy walk in our door out of the blue to ask for a job. It didn't come off as 'motivated' -- rather, a little creepy.
pierrefarabout 16 years ago
Let's see: missing title tag on home page, inconsistent navigation. So much for polish.
arjunbabout 16 years ago
Kind of ironic that she created a blog, instead of a twitter feed, for this.
quellhorstabout 16 years ago
She made the site, but what the heck is she going to do working for twitter.

Aim high.
