1. If someone wanted to land a job at your company today, how would you recommend he or she do it?
We obsess about quality. We pay attention to every pixel on the site, every second of every video, every comment from every customer. We hope to find people who share a similar obsession about quality in everything that they do. If that's you, visit hulu.com/jobs or drop us a line at jobs@hulu.com.
2. What is the best piece of career advice you've ever been given, and who gave it?
My father gave me the best career advice I've ever heard. He said to "sharpen your axe." It's an old Chinese proverb that means you can cut a lot of logs if you work hard, but you can cut even more if you work hard with a sharp axe. Everyone can always benefit from additional learning and training. At any stage in your career, invest the time to acquire new skills, research best practices, and improve your capabilities, and you'll be more efficient and productive.
3. If you were job hunting in this economy, where would you look?
"Hunting" isn't the tough part for finding opportunities in a tight market. Companies that are hiring aren't trying to hide that fact -- at Hulu, we want our jobs to be found. We want everyone to know about our open positions so we can meet more great candidates. But after you identify an interesting opportunity, the real work begins.
Make sure you have a clear, focused, and targeted application which means doing things like researching each company in depth to understand its business needs, and tailoring your resume for individual positions. In a tight market, don't make it a general job hunt. It's critical to have a well thought out plan and strategy for each and every specific position you're after.

This is great!
I was wondering whether you can get a scholarship to learn drupal?
There are these free scholarship web sites. But I do not know whether the actually get you a scholarship or not. Maybe I really need to make money with apps and then I can afford a school. If everything else fails, I can always hit the jackpot mega millions and then everything will be fine.
In the mean time I wan contemplating starting a cake business. Then I got the itching and think I have to treat yeast infection now.
Aside from that I want to know the truth about life insurance premiums. Whole Life vs. Term Life Insurance what is better. But maybe that has nothing to do with the price of fish. I should read some term life insurance comparisons and then get cheap car insurance. I know that it is possible to find really cheap car insurance. And it is well worth it. You can ask dui defense indiana and they will tell the same. If you want someting for your kids, you should try bendaroos or bendaroos.

I completely agree with "sharpening your axe". Finding a job is almost like applying for college. Every single recruiter wants to find the best fit for their company or school, and keeping extra-curricular activities and additional training up to date is a great way to land the job and keep it.

I agree that now is a really bad time to send out a bunch of generic resumes to companies. Now more than ever companies that are hiring are looking to grow rapidly, and they need driven individuals to help them in their endeavors.

I really enjoy hulu's site... It is tight and clean and simple and I have never had a bad link or removed video. It just goes to show the attention and diligence each employee puts into his work. I would love to work at such a fun and proud company.

The lesson here is that some of these retailers might be better off sticking to their core concepts instead of pushing ever more demographic-specific options out to the consumer.

I love this "sharpen your axe".
It's like sharpen the saw of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
