A few weeks ago I applied to foursquare as a marketing and communications intern. I sent in a cover letter and resume (both of which I received a great deal of help on from the HN community, so thanks guys!)
Since then I have created a presentation on sliderocket (http://aorshan.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/my-application-to-foursquare/) and shared it on twitter with pretty much every foursquare employee I could find, as well as various members of the tech press and prominent members of the community (Brad Feld, Ben Barr, Andrew Chen, Chris Dixon, etc).
I also managed to track down the emails of Naveen (one of the foursquare founders) and Alex (their head of product). I sent them both emails describing my love for the company and how much I want to work for them, as well as included a link to the sliderocket presentation. They both responded to me, Naveen forwarding my email to recruiting and Alex saying he will send my email to the right people.
I haven't heard anything since then. I really want to intern at foursquare and want to do everything I can to show that I want the job (and am qualified to get it). I feel like at the moment I have done a reasonable amount and fear that doing anything more will push me over the line into the realm of annoying people who try to hard.
Thoughts?
