So like I said before- there are a lot of articles and advice givers out there...Here is one that I found How to get a job at a startup that actually has some great tips. It also inspired me to give my own "how to" two-cents. And since its close to Christmas and Decemeber is upon us, here goes my "10 days of Advice". Ha... or something like that. Enjoy:
#1- First thing to remember about the job search, its like dating. Its stressful, and delicate, and exactly like dating. Accept it. Own it. Rock it. If you think about your job search like you think about dating, you'll be a lot more successful- I swear. Don't talk about growth, promotions, or how motivated you are to be CEO in two years during your first interview [don't talk about "the future" on your first drinks date]. You're both trying to see if you can stand each other for an hour before you start thinking about what your wedding colors will be and what you'll name your kids. Take it slow, address each interaction as it is, leave out the 10-year plan at first. That's not to say you want to mis-represent yourself, if it comes up, you have to be honest- but be delicate and appropriate, don't scare them off.
