Do you have what it takes to join a startup?

by Miguel Galvez

Working at a startup is unlike most other jobs. In fact, I would say you can’t relate it to nearly any other professional settings. It takes a very special type of individual. You need to be a type A go-getter, hustler, entrepreneurial, and above all, a great person to be around. Like the name implies, a startup is in its early stage. There may only be a handful of people working in the company so their next hire needs to be a ‘jack-of-all trades’. They want you to take on any task that helps the company and have a good attitude doing it. Sure some roles you will have to fill will have a less glorified name, but rest assured it goes a long way towards success. You will take part in everything and anything wearing a number of different hats. This is what makes successful startup employees great hires throughout their professional lives. More often than not veteran startuppers will have joined a number of companies looking to hire them for their excellent operating experience.
