That One Time I Applied to Work at Zen Planner

At some point last year, I found out that Zen Planner was hiring... and although I loved my job and what I was doing, I was inspired to apply for the job...  just see what would happen!

Now, since enough time has passed and I no longer want the job (I'm doubling down at my current position), I thought it would be cool to post the actual cover letter that I sent them.

Who knows - maybe it will be super interesting for someone out there to read.... Perhaps as what not to do, as I never heard back. 😂  LOL.

My letter will summarize:

  • My Current Perception of Zen Planner
    • Competitive Analysis
  • What Could Be with Zen Planner

Review on My Zen Planner's Integrated Website



If you didn't read about why we switched to an Integrated Website with Zen Planner, you can read that article.  This article however will be going over what it was actually like to hire them and work with them.

I am a self-professed Zen Planner fanboy, so I had very high expectations going into this process.  To sum up my experience in one sentence, I'd say that it was more work than I had anticipated on my part to get it the way that I wanted, but very worth it in the end to switch.
