Reason #1: I want to work for you.
Basecamp, I think you’re awesome. When I signed up, I was pleasantly surprised that you offer a free 60-day trial with no obligation. You trust your customers and your product. I then started r...
Reason #2: I care about customer service.
Before moving to Hong Kong, I only worked in customer service jobs, including hospitality, telemarketing, and retail. While those jobs have a sales aspect, I was chiefly motivated to deliver on s...

Reason #9: I love learning.
I love learning. Not for the outcome, but for the process. Being able to continuously improve myself is extremely important to me. It’s why I read dozens of blogs and articles every day, why I...
Reason #10: I’m not a programmer.
A month or so ago, I took a Programming for Non-Programmers class. Programming’s cool because I now have a greater understanding around how you build an application to build a need, but I’m i...
