Hackers, do you think a job at a startup is right for you?
Looking for an efficient way to introduce yourself as a prospective employee to 30 Y Combinator-funded startups?
Then try the new YCommonApp.
The application process asks for you to submit answers by video to a variety of questions: Tell us about the most impressive thing you’ve built. Describe your ideal job.
These submissions will be distributed to the Y Combinator-funded companies who are looking for “hackers of various stripes.”
The participating YC alumni include Posterous, Heroku, Justin.tv, and Cloudkick.
Just chat into your video camera for a couple of minutes about your skills and experience. It seems much easier than crafting a cover letter.
