Sam, I feel you, but this is the developer in you speaking!
I had similar reservations, for example when it related to following up with companies after they gave no response.
I tested this out, and emailed some companies close to 8 times. Guess what happened? Every single company I followed up with that relentlessly replied, and replied positively. 1 Month in and I had an offer from Uber, and interviews with Evernote, Google, AirBnB (had to email them the most) the list goes on.
If you're on the search I definitely suggest testing your assumptions
- personlurking 12y ago"Every single company I followed up with that relentlessly replied, and replied positively." Any chance you could state this in another way? I felt like you were about to say something then put a period. Thx
- stopachka 12y agoHiya person lurking :). Other then going into the details of the contents of what I wrote, I can't think of much more to write there. Do you have anything you'd like to know?
- personlurking 12y agoUnfortunately, it seems like I might have a lot of questions to get the story straight for myself. It would be a lot of back-and-forth commenting. Thanks for the reply, though.
- rhizome 12y agoHuh, so to me that reads as a list of companies who drop the ball.
- dreamfactory2 12y agoThere are millions of balls, a few manage to get through. Nobody is going to go around actively catching them.
- stopachka 12y agoInteresting point rhizome -- I guess it can be looked at that way, but the problem is that at the initial stage, we want to the companies more then they want us. Then the question becomes, just because other people are dropping the ball, does that mean you're not going to get what you want?
