Ask HN: Found a great job, how do i score an interview?

3 points by lakeeffect ↗ HN
I've been working on startups for the past five years, at this point I'm looking for something more stable for my family. I found a job that I think would be a good fit. How do I go about ensuring I at least get an interview?

There are many resources for this already.

It would be funny if you had this on a clip-board and just posted it on every question, you could even add a link to google.

If I had any spare time I would write a chrome plugin that automatically took everything after "Ask HN:", build a google search and added it as a comment.

Be honest. Ring them up, say "I think I'm a great fit because of this actual piece of evidence or example" and say "I want in. "

If you are not honest or use something other than a direct approach, well, that sends a signal bigger than anything you can say at the interview
