So a lot of you have commented that you would like to be able to see all the available jobs in a more convenient way. We agree that it is currently not intuitive, so we are working to address that issue.
However for now, you can find all the jobs listed here: http://www.conotes.com/jobs
You also can search for keywords through that link.
Another thing to mention is that it is unclear how to apply for a number of the positions. That is an issue we ran across as we were loading a number of the jobs into the database, but we are working to fix that ASAP. If you do come across one of these listings, please let use know via email at support@conotes.com.
We are happy to see that CoNotes is generating so much interest. We are supporters of entrepreneurship and it’s exciting that so many people are also interested in joining fast-growth startups!

Hey everyone! It’s been about two weeks since we launched and we are seeing a tremendous response from you. A lot of you have commented that you were in the middle of a job search for startup companies, and that it was perfect timing that we launched when we did. Our aim is to continue to improve CoNotes, so that the job search process is exciting, educational, and interesting. We want the companies that you read about to get your blood flowing, and hopefully that passion translates over into a career that you love.
For job seekers, I want to begin a discussion here around your criteria for selecting a job. For some, it is about the prestige, others the salary, and a good number state it is the location.
For myself, I have always sought out the job that sounded most interesting to me — and for the most part they have been entrepreneurial and technology related. And those two areas are a pretty good summary of where my interests lie. I am a tech guy at heart, but technology in and of itself is not enough. I love the application of technology in interesting ways…and that is where the entrepreneurial interests come in.
There have been many times when I had the option to choose a higher paying or more “prestigious” job. But I hated the thought of not doing something that I loved. Some people say that this approach is very noble or honest, but I think it is just an efficient form of selfishness. Why go two steps (e.g. job to money to happiness) when you can do it in one (job to happiness)?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Hey! This is Andrew, founder of CoNotes. I’m really excited to announce the relaunch of CoNotes. CoNotes is the one place to go to for job opportunities in the most exciting entrepreneurial companies. If fast-growth companies such as Facebook or ZipCar excite you, then this is the place for you. My goal is to help you find your passion and live your dream!
As a business school student at Kellogg, I made a concerted effort to find a position within several startup companies. But I spent hours upon hours looking for, researching, and aggregating information about fast-growth companies. I knew there were tons of others people going through the same frustrating process and that I could come up with a better way to find these companies. That thought was the birth of CoNotes.
So take a look and click around. I’d love to hear your thoughts. And if there is an exciting company that you think needs to be added, let me know!
