Please attach your résumé.

No cover letter. Instead, a few short questions so we can get to know you.

Brief is good. A few honest sentences is plenty. Don’t overthink it: we’d rather hear the first thing that comes to mind than read a polished essay.

Part 3

Choose your own adventure

You don’t need to answer all of these. Pick a handful that resonate with you and skip the ones that don’t.

06Tell us about something you learned on your own and how you approached it. It can be personal or professional.

07Tell us about something you’re particularly proud of, in just a few sentences.

08What’s a tool or system you love using, and one you’d happily never open again?

09Put these in order, from what you’d be happiest spending your time on to what you’d be least happy doing.

Drag them, or use the arrows. There’s no right answer. Leave the list alone to skip it.

10Which of these best reflects your opinion about AI?

Opposed: All AI is slop. Skeptical: I think it creates more problems than it solves. Cautious: Useful in places, but I’m careful with it. Pragmatic: It’s a tool like any other. Optimistic: It’s going to change how we work, mostly for the better. Enthusiastic: I can’t get enough of it. Undecided: Still making up my mind.
