You’ve read her application. Now file yours. The first interview could be dinner, a bike ride, first chair — whatever she picks. Applications go straight to the listing’s founder for review. Approved applicants get to see the photos. Rejected applicants get a great story.
One application per person. Citation needed for all claims of humor. Attachments go to the founder’s inbox and nowhere else. The 6 a.m. class is optional but noticed.
