Honestly, I don't care about your qualifications. That's just checking off the "requirements" list.
What I'd care about is: do you have a passion for what our company is doing? Do you think you could make solid contributions? Prove it. Tell me a story.
I was in a recent roundtable and we all agreed that if someone sent us an email that truly demonstrated a passion for the company, we'd _make_ a position for them, even if we weren't hiring for it. Passion is worth way more than "I need a job. Here are my qualifications."

I realized I wouldn't just apply to any startup just to work at a startup--it really matters when you believe in the product. That way, you can treat it as your own and come up with ideas how to make it better, and think of your job less as a drag.
