Facebook Advertising, Marginal Success

After running just over ten dollars in Facebook advertisements, I was able to get a couple responses. Since my ads were directed towards a specific demographic, engineers and computer scientists, I received semi-qualified applicants. The most interesting of which, was a computer science major with a high GPA at Cornell. I sat with him to discuss some ideas. Although he was fully capable of writing code, his Linux administration skills lacked severely. So much, that I was not comfortable hiring him. This is surprisingly common among C.S. majors. It would be difficult for me to pay for his advancement along the Linux / Web Development curve. Plus, I was not looking for a position of mentorship. Either way, I learned that my interview skills lack and I should be more prepared before talking with potential business partners. In the end, I made contact with a student who will no doubt, become a successful programmer.
