Thanks for the list, out of the list I am really very interested to work at LinkedIn and Craigslist, I hope the way to get a job there is not as tough as I think.

We are a student startup, hellointern.com, which also caters to recruitments in startups. Students could be a good work-force for startups. Our service is completely free for students and startups.
It would be great if few students from colleges come forward as representatives for internship recruitments of their fellow students via our portal and spread the free internship movement. More on this, emal snehal(a’t)hellointern.com

It’s interesting to see how many of the companies on the company network page for Doostang are no longer in existence or in serious trouble … hrmmmmmm.

I’m a huge fan of Silicon Alley’s job board – it’s well edited and thoughtfully organized. http://jobs.alleyinsider.com/

Also, alumni organizations are wonderful resources for networking, funding discussions, and of course, employment opportunities.

Patrick,

Thanks for pointing out Startuply! We’re working hard to connect great candidates with great companies, and we think that a big part of our job is to open communication channels so that job seekers can get a sense of not just what a startup is building, but who they are as a team & a company.

I’ll also toss a strong upmod to #10 on your list, too. When friends & folks ask for advice on how to get a job, my first suggestion is always this: make a list of the companies that you think are doing the coolest and most interesting stuff, and then get in touch with them. Whether or not it looks like they’re hiring for your position or skill set, try to start a conversation. Ask questions, give feedback, whatever – a real relationship will get you further than a resume + cover letter. If a company is too big to talk to you – a customer and fan – it looks like a big warning flag to me.

Loving EV, keep it up.
