I like the layout of the JamLegend page on Snaptalent. The job is something I'm interested in and Snaptalent seems to do a good job aggregating info about JamLegend.

One quick question though. What are the benefits to signing up? The sign up ad could be read as implying that signing up would be beneficial to me in applying to JamLegend. Are you offering any services, like resume review? Or is this page all that a logged in user would see, and account benefits are more general things like search access?

Have a read of our homepage: http://snaptalent.com/

If you have any more questions email me directly: sumon [at] snaptalent [dot] com

Thanks for the response. I decided to sign up for an account.

If anyone else was wondering what the Sign Up button does when logged in, the button turns into an I'm Interested button. This lets SnapTalent release your contact info, and since your resume and other info is in your profile, Snap Talent is saying that this an easier way to apply for a job.

Just signed up! I'm really impressed with the service so far. As ALee put it, it's really refreshing to see a company that gets it. I've been having a hard time finding appropriately aimed job postings as a soon-to-be-recent-grad and you've given me hope.

Chris, I'm one of the founders of JamLegend, so feel free to e-mail me directly if you have any questions about JamLegend. We have been in News.YC for a while, so it holds a particular place in our hearts if people are referred from there.

I've been very happy with SnapTalent because I think it authentically conveys our company and we've helped test parts of their system. Snaptalent is so refreshing because it's a company that finally gets it.

Thanks for the response. I'll probably be emailing you my resume and a few questions later this evening once I get my resume cleaned up a little.

And thanks for offering to answer any questions I have. I find it a huge complement to know that I have direct access to a company's founders. One of the reasons I just signed up for SnapTalent, a company I have never heard of before, is getting a response from sharpshoot a few minutes after I asked a question.

I have played around on your site a little bit after hearing about it on HN yesterday, but I really wouldn't say I have much of a relationship with your site after visiting it a few times. So one of my first experiences with JamLegend is finding out that you are willing to answer any questions I have, and that created a lot of good will toward your company.

I will mail you my resume too. Probably you could have a look at it if I fit in your summer intern profile

amohr2• 17 years ago

So your Snaptalent profile says it's 1-10 employees, and there's 4 positions for interns. That seems like a pretty high intern/fulltime ratio. Are you planning on filling all 4 of those?

I'm still looking for an internship abroad (I'm from the Netherlands), and this sounds like a cool opportunity! I only hope that JamLegend or any other company on snaptalent are waiting for some european knowledge ;)

The site and game look great, success seem inevitable; but I find playing unsatisfying.

The chosen notes often seem independent of the guitar lines in the song; and when played, they're not in sync. So for me, it's more like a simon-says game with incidental background music. :-)

- Is this a technical problem? Flash is not so great at syncing sounds and actions; and additionally, I'm trying it on a low-powered eee PC (most flash games are fine on it).

- Or is it me? I've heard that these games are not like playing the instrument at all (I'm an old guitar player, just garage bands and teaching, but I can play), and so maybe this spoils the experience for me.

I hope this feedback is useful to you - and even better if you can enlighten me! Thanks :-)

They seemed to be about as in sync as any other game of this genre. Your eeepc might be part of the sync issues.

10ren4• 17 years ago

But how in sync is the genre? :-) That's part of my question.

However, it now seems the eeePC is the main factor, as it's straining at some other points in the UI.

mcastner2• 17 years ago

That's really cool, I'd never heard of either of these sites before. Too bad I'm on the east coast or I would definitely apply for this internship.

Now I'm looking for internships closer to home on SnapTalent.
