From your description, your ideal position is with a medium-to-large sized b2b company, that has high-value paying customers to whom you can either sell or provide post-sales support.
Consumer internet startups are more interested in:
- (good) coders
- raising money
- inbound marketing (ppc, blogging, seo, tech pr, etc).
So if you really want to be at a startup, I suggest you rebrand yourself as an internet marketing and/or SEO guru. Read Inbound Marketing by @dharmesh and retool your resume/cover letter.
- noahc 16y agoThanks for the reply. I really appreciate the inbound marketing stuff. I focused on that sort of thing in the SpiderOak email, and thanks for pointing out that's where I need to stay focused.

- noahc 16y agoI think too, that I have some job requirements that probably are unique too like working remote and wanting to work at most 35 hours, but much rather in the 20 hour range per week. Maybe a reverse job application is the way to go?
