From our buddies at Pluck:
Here’s the deal. Pluck (http://www.pluck.com) is a fast growing social media startup that’s looking to expand its engineering team because all of these pesky customers who keep buying our stuff and wanting fancy new features. We usually start the interview process by taking a promising looking developer to lunch, primarily so we can eat somewhere nice and expense it. This is a golden opportunity for us both.
I get a free lunch, you get a free lunch, and it only costs an hour of your time and sending me something resume-like. Not a bad deal in my book. Plus, it’s at lunch time so nobody at the crappy company you are working at now will be any the wiser.
Many times we simply chat a bit, enjoy our free lunch, exchange pleasantries and then return to our respective jobs never to speak again. If however, it turns out you’re _NOT_ an idiot, and Pluck sounds interesting to you, then we’ll setup a more formal, official interview.
If you are just skimming this to see if Pluck sounds interesting to you,
here’s the relevant keywords: customers with $$ * margaritas * dual monitors and fast hardware * C#, HTML * good benefits * No database, no ASP.NET * relaxed, flexible schedule * monorail * bacon salt * billions of widgets served per month
I’m hungry, so please send me your resume at careersinengineering@pluck.com and put the title “freelunch-geekaustin” into the subject so I can sort it to the top of my inbox.
