Great initiative. All employers should want to have such enthusiastic applicants.

I'm not sure whether her design is "good" or whether her other attributes line up with what they're looking for, but A+ for effort, nonetheless.




I agree. I think any employer would be flattered with such a targeted application.

But I think it could be better if she listed benefits she could bring Instagram, rather than her personality traits. She does link to a very nice resume that has more content.


It's targeted in one way, and in one way only: via mention. Sure, the domain name includes the word "Instagram." Similarly, it's in the page's title.

However, the connection is surprisingly superficial. As you point out, she offers a comically generic application and then emphasizes that, you know, working at Instagram would be, like, cool. I find that a little cynical.
