I'm currently looking for a Crypto job as a Community Moderator/Manager, reply guy or meme guy or Social Media Manager.
These are gigs I've done in the past for the last 7-8 years I've been in the space.
Anyway I know my title is a bit surprising for someone who's looking for a job!
The type of mindset for someone looking for a job is to send his/her CV to numerous places as possible.
Nah bro I don't do that
I have been in the Crypto job market long enough to realize that applying to numerous jobs might not get you the job(this is according to my experience) , yours might and can be different!
1. Numerous People Are Going To Apply For That Job!
The first reason is so direct, we've all been trained to sharpen our CVs for the competitive job market.
It's unfortunate that almost 98% of the jobs seekers have great CVs and hence so much competition.
You've all read stats of over 3k applicats applying for the same 1 gig , not so ?
2. Your CVs Won't Be Read!
As I said earlier, the number of applicants is so big that the recruiters might not get time to check out your well prepared tailored CV !
You might be unlucky that the recruiter chooses a candidate just after reading 6 CVs and yours unfortunately was CV number 2787!
Yes , you might ask why can't the recruiter close the applications if they've already gotten their candidate?
The reason might shock you but shouldn't 😂.....the recruiters are as busy as you are!
The recruiters are so busy with other parts of their business that they'll even forget to close or announce the job has been filled!
Yes you're right it is annoying but that's just how weird life is.
For those who're annoyed, let me help you jog your memory a bit and be sincere to yourself.
Haven't you ever promised to call a friend , sis, mum or anyone and then you get so busy with life that you remember it when the person calls back(days later )to remind you that you had promised to call them?
I'm sure 98% of the people reading this now have at least for once experienced that .
Am I lying? No
3. Recruiters Will Get Someone From Their Network Even Without A Perfect CV!
Now this might shock you but it's the reality!
Haven't you once got a gig or job that you weren't perfect for and you just leaned the work all the way?
Don't lie, be honest with yourself.
It might be intriguing to learn that as you took that job, the recruiter told you that,⁷ occupy the job as he/she looks for the best candidate...
.....and guess what you ended up becoming the best candidate as you learned to do the work along the way .
4. I Don't Have A CV
Fuck 🙆♂️,
you might have uttered those words after reading the above line ie that I don't have a CV.
So how do/did you get those jobs you talked of above?
Great question.
I try to use Orthodox methods to get jobs and I'll talk about this in my next article.
Yes seriously I don't have a CV
