I put in an application to work at 42floors for an entry level position and received back an email saying that they wouldn't consider me because they aren't relocating new employees to SF.

I didn't ask for relocation nor mention that I would be unable to relocate myself.

I had the same experience. I have utmost respect for 42Floors and their mission to disrupt Commercial Real Estate, I work in commercial real estate development, and love the startup mentality.

That sounds to me like what they wanted, but got the big "Thanks but no thanks."

What are do you think they are looking for if not somebody who already works in commercial real estate and knows what they are signing up for? Any ideas? I would love to work for 42Floors but need some advice for getting in the door...

Would you mind resending your resume to me? My email's in my profile. We're far from perfect at hiring here, and lots of things slip through the cracks. I love that you reached out via HN and I'd be happy to Skype with you about specific opportunities this week if you have some time and are still interested.

Jason here. Sorry about that! I'm emailing you now...
