I had the opportunity to speak with a founder of a startup that connects students and recent graduates with job opportunities at startup companies. I asked him about the kinds of applications he sees and he had a very interesting answer. He explained to me that students assume that the things fortune 500 looks for are exactly the same as what a startup looks for. In the world of startups progress and growth is the key focus. We need to grow into a sustainable business. We need to progress to our goals. So why should I care about how much your GPA is? Why should I care what clubs you were the president of? I’m not saying there’s something wrong these things, it’s that startups look at this completely different.
If challenging and purposeful work mean more to you than job
security
If you’re the kind of person who embraces challenge
If you want to grow professionally and gain vital character strength.
