The best way to get a job is to make yourself a person of great value, so that companies would want to employ you, instead of you wanting them. If you want it too much, you probably won't get it (because chances are, if you want it too much, you're not good enough).
- lowglow 16y agoI'm going to have to slightly disagree. I think there is a balance, and ambition and eagerness are great assets in a start-up environment in addition to technical prowess.
- hasenj 16y agoWhat I mean is that it's pointless to talk about how to ace an interview if the person in question isn't even capable of the job. Such guides tend to be more along the lines of "how to hack the hiring process".

Nothing about this guide is about circumventing the natural ways people find jobs (save for one step, and perhaps the lengths of which I'm asking people to try), but illuminating what has worked for me, and reiterating some tried and true methods of success. I feel you didn't even read the article, yet felt compelled to comment.
