I’m serious about this, so there is an actual application process. I promise it’s nowhere near as painful as Microsoft’s, though.
- You read this website. Seriously. You need to know just what you’re getting into if you and I work together. I don’t want you to be surprised at all.
- You write me a kind note (valenteespinosa on gmail.com) explaining how you meet the qualifications and why you and I would make a great team. Or make up your own creative application. No real rules to this other than making it clear why we would be a fit and giving me a way to contact you back.
- I write you back to say thanks and that I got it. (So polite.)
- I will do homework. If you aren’t findable on Google, we’ll have a problem. (Unless that’s why you want to hire me. Then we might be a match made in heaven.)
- I contact you to say yes or no.
- We have a roughly 10-minute video chat to test the waters. (This is a good time to ask me about my recent pro bono activities.) If we click,
- (This is a good time to ask me about my weird Twitter activity.) If we still click,
- Lets try some virtual assistance on my part Telecommuting on this day and age give us the chance to test even further. I’m hiring the entire company, not just you, so I need to see the entire operation and get a real look at how you operate.
- We decide it’s a fabulous match and start working our way through the HRSDC tape.
- I show up for work full of excitement and am proven correct in my choice of boss and company. I then proceed to blow you away and we're both thrilled.
