I found a job through Quora (I thought I was just answering a question)
- ryanb 15y agoI'm willing to bet at least a handful of people have gotten jobs through Quora. Someone claims to have even landed funding for their startup on Quora: http://www.quora.com/Has-anyone-gotten-startup-funding-thanks-to-a-contact-made-on-Quora http://www.quora.com/Has-anyone-gotten-startup-funding-thank...
- Peroni 15y agoGreat post & congratulations on finding a great job! He found me in a social channel; engaged me in that channel I've had similar, albeit much less impressive, experiences here on HN and slowly people & organisations are starting to realise the importance of maintaining a credible online profile.
- ryanb 15y agoI met my co-founders through Hacker News.
- gregmeyer 15y agoPeroni, RyanB - Thanks - would be interesting to know how many people have gotten jobs through Quora. This experience has been great! -g
- n_simplex 15y agoTangential note, but it is quite interesting to see the page view counter on the Quora post increase by the second, gives you a feel of the HN audience size...
- johnx123-up 15y agoThanks for the good catch
- pclark 15y agoLoopt hired JC through Quora I believe. :)
- presspot 15y agoAs a way to become known and advance your personal brand, Quora is awesome. It's also a great place to go looking for talent. The community there is still small enough where you don't see a lot of cheezy recruiting.
- dreww 15y agoif you feel dissatisfied by your current help desk solution, you should definitely check out assistly. it feels like they actually care about design and user delight, unlike the other things i've used/evaluated. i am not affiliated with them other than as a customer. edit: Also, congrats greg!
