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.
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.
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.
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.
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>
