Crowdsource Me

Like so many people around the country right now, I’m about to be unemployed. Knowing there is a lot of competition for every single job posting that goes up, I need an edge - and I’m hoping you will help me!

I’m a huge fan of Twitter and they currently have a job open that fits me like a glove (Product Manager). I’ve sent my app in but I want your help with improving my chances of getting an interview. My plan? Simple. Get as many people as I can to tweet @twitter a message about interviewing me! Who knows, with a little luck, maybe we can generate enough noise to get some attention.

I’m certainly not expecting anyone to recommend someone they know nothing about. To help that out a little I have posted a copy of the cover letter and resume that I submitted to Twitter.

Are you in? Simply tweet out this message and lets see what happens!

@twitter Please interview @crispylettuce for your Product Manager position. We love him like we love Harry Potter!

What’s with the line about Harry Potter? Well, I’m no Oprah. I don’t have millions of followers. I think the only way I can climb above the chatter is to hijack a trending topic. Hopefully this message will get mixed in to the Harry Potter feed and more people will pick it up. It certainly can’t hurt :)

Thanks in advance if you decided to participate! I will of course post updates as to what happens.
