PLEASE NOTE: Hey, we know you really want to stand out and try and make an impression with Calvin, Joshua, or other members of the leadership team personally on LinkedIn or via email, but so does everyone else, and it just ends up being annoying. Work hard on your application, work with our hiring team, and youll be in great hands. Or, if youd like, come up with something unique and personal and special that impresses us and makes us smile. :)
