Cover Letters That Worked (Sorta): A Stanford MBA Lands A Foursquare Job


Business Insider found a letter that Foursquare’s director of business development, Tristan Walker, sent to Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadurai two years ago, angling for a job.

The whole email is here on Walker’s tumblr, but here’s an excerpt:

Hey Dennis and Naveen

How’s it going? Hope all is well!

My name is Tristan Walker and Im a first year student (going into my second year) at Stanford Business School (originally from New York). Im a huge fan of what you both have built and excited about what you guys have planned for FourSquare.
