You can’t teach this kind of hunger.
We’ve had 20,000+ people apply to work at
@KnotAPIs. At the bottom of the application, it says: “Differentiate yourself.”
Today, someone took that to an extreme.
Charles took a 13-hour redeye train to surprise us at the office. He waited outside until the lights came on, then came up and showed us a project he’d been building.
All this without ever hearing back on his application.
I asked him, “What if we weren’t in the office? It’s Columbus Day.”
He smiled and said, “The application said 5 days a week, so I thought I’d take a shot.”
We're interviewing Charles, but I 100% want to make his trip worthwhile.
If your team is hiring, or if you just respect that kind of grit, share this or reach out to him directly.
He’s looking for any role or internship. And trust me, he’s going to do just fine.
