Be Speedy

One way to stand out in the applicant pool is to be speedy and reliable.

  • Send a thank you email within 5 minutes of the interview
  • Be first to apply (i.e. pitch) for a job
  • Respond to emails within 24 hours consistently

Build your reputation. Companies will like pretty-talented-and-reliable over very-talented-and-unreliable.


Craft.co

Before you pitch a company, you want to learn about them. Where to start? We’ve mentioned Crunchbase, but you can also use Craft.co to learn about their funding rounds, competitors, revenue, key people, and more.
