How to apply to Humble and be noticed
We do not care about polished CVs or cover letter templates. We care if you understand what we are building and what you could add to it. Here is how to show us that.
Show us, don't just tell us
The best applications we have had were not the best formatted. They showed us at once how someone thinks. We want to see that from you.
Use Humble first
This is the one thing you must do. Download the extension and use it for a few days. Then bring your honest view. What worked? What did not? What would you change? That tells us more than any CV.
A CV is optional
If a CV shows you well, include it. If it does not, do not send it. We care more about what you can do than what you have done before. A portfolio, a project, a prototype or a video all count.
Bring an idea for how you would help
The best people bring an idea for how they would make a difference. It does not have to be big. It just has to be real. Show us you have thought about where you would add value.
Be yourself
We are a neurodivergent-first company. We built Humble for people who think differently, and our team is like that too. Do not perform. We would rather hear your real voice than a polished version of it.
Things people have done that we remember
There is no right format. The best applications surprise us. Here are some things people have done, or could do, to show what they can do.
These are ideas to start you thinking, not a checklist. The best idea is probably one we have not seen yet.
Prototype something
Redesign a screen or draw a feature. Or build a rough version of something you think Humble needs.
Make a video
Show us how you would promote Humble to your community. Or show us how you use it each day.
Write something honest
Write a short essay, a Notion doc or a voice note transcript. Tell us what Humble means to you and what you would do with it next.
Pitch a WOW project
What one thing would you do in your first 30 days? Pick something that would make us think "we need this person".
Map a community
Applying for a community role? Show us the groups you are already part of. Tell us how you would bring Humble to them.
Surprise us
We mean it. If none of these feel right, trust yourself. The format that feels most natural to you is probably the best one.
A quick check
Ask yourself these questions before you send. They are not rules. They are just there to help.
Have I really used Humble? Do I have a real opinion about it?
Does this show what I can do, not just what I've done before?
Have I said something specific about Humble, not just that I like it?
Does it sound like me, not like a template?
Would I be proud to show this to someone whose opinion I respect?
Ready? We'd love to hear from you.
