15 Years of SparkFun
I applied to Sparkfun about 8 or 9 years ago - they had some kind of Github easter egg in their application process or something. It was an IT role. I applied and recall being pretty glib; my application was about "me" and how I would benefit, how good I was, etc.<p>The receiver of the resume was beyond unimpressed, and took the time to write a 2-3 paragraph response to how unappealing my tone and application was.<p>I remember it being a sobering and humbling moment, and truly appreciated the time someone took to set a conceited young applicant straight.<p>Sure would have been nice to move to Boulder, though.
