It’s a short article, but it’s to-the-point and a simple read. 25-year old Enid Hwang  is working her dream job at Pinterest as a Community Manager, but she didn’t just get it from simply applying online and sending over her resume. Enid went after the job by meeting with founder Ben Silbermann and it wasn’t until 9 months later after that coffee date that he offered her the job. She was the sixth employee. Now, Pinterest boasts over 100 employees and have relocated from Palo Alto to San Francisco. Check out their profile on Enid and how she puts in her work here. It’s inspiring to see how creative individuals are doing whatever it takes to not only go after their dream job, but create the job of their dreams.

Pinterest Introduces New Home

Today, the Pinterest team moved into their new home and with open spaces and bright windows, the place is gorgeous. Gigaom caught up with founder Ben Silbermann and had the chance to tour the new location and capture some pretty spectacular photos. With over 100 strong and new improvements to the website, the social media network isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
