Dropbox is hiring

Now get your ass to the US and get one of those jobs!

I'm serious. Email them your CV and a motivational letter in your best English, complete the challenges on their site, rock their world with your technical insight, marketing and community-building skills and tell 'em you'll be a faithfull employee for at least the next 10 years if they help you get a green card.

We could all be references. How many people applying there would have a list of positive references from every continent? How many of them can say "without me, a great blooming online community would not exist"? You've got everything they need, except the green card, but they can help you with that.

You have to try. Worst case scenario they say no and all you've lost is a bit of time.

    That's a damn good idea. If I lived anywhere near San Fransisco then I'd definitely apply, but that would also add extra competition for Dfg :( Anyway, Dfg - apply!

    Hahha, I saw that hiring job a bit back.

    I can nail that one easily. But I have other plans and getting a job in other Countries won't help me much. Plus, I am closer to my IRL project :).

    Yep! That's definitely you bro. :)
    Ideally, you can take an angry customer and turn them around in one phone call or email. You are knowledgeable, tech-savvy, resourceful, and possess a friendly character with a velvet tongue. You know, like, and respect Dropbox users because they rock. You make every customer reaction count because you are on a mission to make every Dropbox user happy.

    We have burgers, bacon, and bacon cheeseburgers. What's your project?

    I don't have an actual paper that says I've got the degree yet though. All I have is my completed credits and shit in school. I don't empathize with customers either but working as a customer support drone taught me to be a good liar.

    Shit man, a lot of totseans could apply for that job.

    Fuck it, I've got shit to lose anyway. :thumbsup:
