Actions speak louder than words. Don't just say you passionately want to work at <company>. Show them you passionately want to work at <company>. Be visible in their periphery at all times. Make them think reaching out to you was their idea, and they will be much more likely to do so.
- tbirrell 9y agoHow do you do this? The thing that pops to mind is getting involved on github, but what if the company does not have any OSS?
- muzuq 9y agoThe how is the hard part, and is going to vary by industry/location/etc. I guess I would start by looking where your target company is active. Do they do any live conventions? Be there. Do they have heavy internet presence on any forums or otherwise (outside of their own site?)? Be there. If there own site has user forums, be a contributing member. Old fashioned networking works well too. Look up who works there on LinkedIn or whatever, start making friends. Be a contributing member of their community. Perhaps writing a few LinkedIn articles within their area of expertise? If you are aware of any technical/whatever problems they are facing, present a solution. Im just spitballing here.
