- Thank you for
interviewing
me!

Indeed,
you have the
right and the obligation to
make absolutely certain that you can afford
the sacrifice, no matter what the appeal or hope,
and regardless of how badly we need qualified and
motivated personnel.
Hence, this is actually the
first round of your interview of me,
due diligence to at all seriously consider my
application to work with you. Indeed, by all means,
if desired,
to reassure yourself that I
really am standing by for your
application/ inquiry, then by all
means, establish contact
first, before making substantive
response or even
undertaking due diligence. But, in
that case, please
so state, explicitly,
to avoid
confusion.
The purpose of
this disillusioning application
questionnaire is as much as anything
also for you to ask yourself some tough
questions, as anything
else.
Any serious
inquiry is entitled to the most
pertinent replies we can offer to any
germane questions. Indeed, this is
crucial. There is no shame, and no one
will think the less of anyone who, upon
responsible and cautious review of the
venture participation and it's
hardships, then backs out before making
any commitment.
That this can
be a part time position only means that
you may well find yourself committed to
slaving away at this on top of whatever
paying job and/or studies that you
cannot afford to give up. A creative
leadership niche, simply by virtue of
the work load and the initiative that
will be called for, and the reciprocal
support required internally for any
chance of success.

website and all the content and
interaction freely available
herein!
To quote T
George Harris, "It's the
miner's headlamp, not the eureka flash,
that drives reliable innovation. The
process of innovation is the sweaty
work of digging through tons of
information to find a few golden
nuggets -- mainly unlikely knowledge
combinations."
To be taken seriously (otherwise
not!), the first thing that you
are now expected to do in order to
begin the application process, to
accompany your resume etc., is to to study this
interesting website:
FoolQuest.
com thoroughly enough in order to sell
yourself on whatever you can offer and
what you can do, and how do you see
yourself participating in a new venture
from scratch, your own pursuit of
happiness, mutual accountability, and
what aspect of your responsibilities
might ever actually appeal to you, given the
considerable immediate term personal
sacrifice which will as certainty and
of necessity be both inevitable and
indispensable.
By all
means, make a complaint about whatever
for you seems missing. If you only
tell me what you are after, I will
strive to be of help, best as I can.
But whatever isn't here, I can promise you
that being cagy won't draw it
forth.
Then, if it is
determined that you have given the
matter any sort of considered opinion,
and thus piqued my interest, then will
commence an intensive interview by
email. If you continue to hold up your
end of the conversation (a
must!), you may even find yourself
persuaded to accept the dubious
privilege of taking your place in the
formation of Management Team to become
an unpaid but equity vested Co-Founder,
should you remain interested and if you
still so choose.
No
autoresponder. Your email is so very
important to me, and will be answered
promptly and seriously by a live human
being, yours truly. Thus SPAM-like and
irrelevant impersonal form cover
letters will simply disqualify your
application. Believe it ! And
please tell where you first saw this
text posted or linked. Or else
that'll be a dead give away that you
haven't even actually read this
through.
To respond to
this opportunity, fill out this
form, provided.
Work in harmony with one's nature may
renew hope for success. But to work
against one's nature will all too often
only work against
you.
Things you
might not want to hear!
For your own
sake never mind anyone else's and just
to spare needless aggravation all
around, neither
ignore, stonewall
nor seek to
evade any of the
following questions,
dealing as they do
with crucial
foreseeable problems
and central
concerns.
Never think
even by half-assed misrepresentation
via omission to inveigle others
in to the hurtful
futility of working at cross-purposes
needlessly and fruitlessly, but
rather, far better, let us all
confront whatever obstacles squarely
together and search diligently,
exhaustively and wholeheartedly for any
viable solutions as well as any genuine
common ground.
And if, gentle reader,
you ever come to find anything you confront here on
this page stringent or burdensome, then do not fail
to consider that this questionnaire deals primarily
with the minimum needs, commitments and
consideration of organization and planning during
the most embryonic "kitchen table" phase or
stage of new venture development, which most How-to
advice into
The
Start Up Process commonly tends somewhat to
gloss over, instead plunging headlong into the far
more demanding process that follows, delving into
such burning issues as when and at what juncture the
partners must each and all finally quit their jobs
and entirely commit themselves full time and
resolutely risk all!
By comparison, all that is
treated here is the proverbial cake walk and
not any grinding "Start-up Boot Camp!"
