| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| May 19, 2026 | First exploration of Foreside during a broad job application blitz[3] |
| May 28, 2026 | Browsed Foreside's LinkedIn company jobs page during an extended 50-minute LinkedIn job-search session[4] |
| May 29, 2026 | Received calendar invite: "Invitation: Intro Foreside @ Tue Jun 2, 2026 3pm–3:45pm CEST" — opened at ~14:39 CEST[1] |
| June 2, 2026 | Intro call preparation and completion: Jan re-read the calendar invite at ~12:53, updated his LinkedIn experience section (~12:54–12:55), visited foreside.nl (~12:56–12:57) reading the Fullstack Developer job listing and company story page (~13:07–13:08), then completed the call at 15:00–15:45 CEST[2] |
| June 7, 2026 | Foreside Fullstack Developer listing appeared again in LinkedIn job search results; briefly viewed (~7s)[5] |
On June 2, 2026, Jan performed focused pre-call preparation starting at ~12:53 CEST — approximately two hours before the scheduled call. He re-read the Foreside calendar invite, updated his LinkedIn experience section (viewed his own profile at /in/karsens/details/experience/ multiple times), visited foreside.nl to read both the Fullstack Developer job listing and the "Our Story" page, and also reviewed the Squads Product Engineer listing on Notion (a parallel opportunity discovered the same day). The call itself ran from 15:00 to 15:45 CEST.[2]
No post-call follow-up activity has been observed as of June 11, though the job search has intensified significantly in the period since, with multiple new applications and interview invitations from other companies.[6]
Foreside entered Jan's pipeline during a period of renewed job-search activity following an extended passive stretch (May 21–27). The Foreside call was the first live interview since the Moyai call (May 19) and Blixt call (May 20) — both of which went cold due to lack of follow-up. Other applications filed in the same week include:
