Comment on Ask HN: Using search ads to target potential employers Good or Bad?

Comments

What type of work do you want to do that startup? If it's something marketing related, then use marketing tricks, but if you want to write code, then make something useful for their startup and offer, perhaps, as open source. Unless you are trying to brainwash them to remember your photo subconsciously, ads aren't going to do any good.

It's a marketing position. I don't expect much to come from running ads, but I am curious to see if it can give me some sort of mind share advantage perhaps. Maybe someone unrelated to the position sees it and then emails someone who is involved in that dept pointing out how "this guy is really eager". I'm more than qualified for the position, but I'm concerned it's so competative I'll get lost in the noise.
