How to Get Hired at a Startup

While browsing the web this morning, I came across an interesting blog post, How to Get Hired at a Startup on WorkAwesome. Jason Cohen, the author, makes some very interesting points about getting hired at a startup.

Here are Jason’s five tips:

1. Approach it like getting married
2. Do your homework
3. Your personality, intelligence, and cover letter is more important than bullets on a resume
4. Engage the company beforehand
5. Be “proactive,” not “reactive”

In my opinion, the most important point is number 2, Do you homework. Before going to the interview, visit the company’s site, learn about the product or service, and most importantly, signup, and use the product!

Number 3 is also a very important point. Jason previously wrote a post teaching how to write an engaging, professional cover letter.
