As a founder, I'm always asked: "how do I get hired at a startup?"
Dont worry, I got you.
Here's how to land a job at your dream startup:
{thread time}
Demonstrate that you’re awesome at 1 thing:
Startups are looking for people who have exceptional but specific skills. In your resume, show them what they are looking for and hammer down that point.
Keep your resume concise: If its not related to or helping with Point #1, keep it off!
Write a cover letter that explains why you want to work there:
Founders are always looking for people who are just as passionate as they are about their mission.
Get in the door first, and move laterally within the company:
You might not get the position you want at first, but getting in is always the most important part.
Once you get an offer, make sure to NEGOTIATE:
There’s always room to move!
