- tomhoward 17y agoSigh... I thought I could give readers enough credit to not have to spell it out. - Starting out with a track record of building an impressive startup and/or products; - Seeking out the #1 company in the world he wants to work for; - Calling the CEO to introduce himself then carefully crafting an email to express his intent and his offer; - At his own substantial expense, travelling to NYC to spend 2 weeks in the company's office in the hope of proving himself; - Spending his time carefully observing how the place operates and figuring out how best he could be of value; - Persisting with the strategy until he achieved his goal; - Ultimately, receiving recognition of his talents and being offered a permanent position. Are you not able to identify in any of these 7 points, any hint of determination, intellect or talent?
