03/2025 Update:

Good morning from sunny upstate NY,

My name is Tison, and I am the Executive Director of Business Development at Breakthrough Design. I just wanted to reach out and send a personal note to thank you for applying to join our team.

Thank you for your time, your attention, and for your interest in working with us.

It means a lot to us.

I just wanted to also let you know that we have received over 300 applications in the last few weeks to the Web Developer / Designer post, and we are now in the process of reviewing everything that everyone has sent over.

What’s Next?

During review, if we find that things you’ve sent over look like a good match, we will reach out to each person individually to start interviews in the next 3-5 weeks.

So if things are a good match, you will hear from us in the next few weeks. We will then email at the end of the process to let everyone know when we have filled the position. So if this round doesn’t work out, and you don’t hear from us, if you would like we will keep you on the list for our next opening. So I will reach out again by the week of 4/21 with an update.

We hope to meet you all soon,

Kind regards,
