HOW TO GET A BLOCKCHAIN JOB EVEN AS A NEWBIE

The world is changing, and many people are looking for ways to keep up with it. Blockchain technology is  providing  several career opportunities to people today.

Newcomers have questions like, “How can I get my first blockchain job?” What is the most difficult job? What do I need to get a job in the Blockchain space? How do I qualify for a job?

These questions will be  addressed in this article.

Let’s Dive;
Getting a job in the Blockchain space can be a bit different especially for Newbie’s but Volunteering for projects can ease all the drama in your head,on whether or not you can develop the skills for that dream job.

Those who excel as volunteers are referred for paid roles when opportunities arise, or if the slot comes from the community for which they volunteer, those who work for them are given the slot.
Getting a blockchain job is one thing, another thing is to keep the job. Don’t work for the money; rather, work for the value you bring and the experience you gain. It is the experience gained that qualifies anyone for a job opportunity and helps in retaining the job also. Even if a person is wrongfully removed from his position, the skill and experience he has gained cannot be taken away.
Graphic designs and writing are skills learned for the physical workplace. They can also be translated and used in the blockchain space.

HOW TO GET A BLOCKCHAIN JOB.
The Blockchain Space poses a transition from the centralised and traditional economy, and one can perform roles with skills they had acquired from the traditional ecosystem in the Blockchain Space, build on their existing skills and find ways to apply them in the space. Here’s what you need to know:
1. There are some new skills in high demand like community management, acquiring this skill or other new skills would place you in a very good position. Community managers that are familiar with Telegram bots management will be chosen, while those who are not will not be.
2. It is important to understand that applying for jobs on websites brings little or no response of acceptance.
3. Linkedin when properly optimized can provide a better chance to get job recommendations and referrals.
4. Another means of getting a job is by creating a valid Curriculum vitae that conveys proper and relevant details Employers would be thrilled to consider you. Even if there are many applicants, you can build your portfolio to attract the attention of organizations. Your CV must have said a lot about you before an organization gets to know you.
5. A lengthy CV is not a requirement for employment.
6. Experience and leadership experiences (this demonstrates that you have people management skills), amongst others, are a better detail on a CV.
7. Build good relationships with the organisation and make the organization see why you will be an asset to them rather than a liability.
8. Reach out to communities and join groups. Sending a direct message to the Admin for an open role may send a negative message. Getting noticed is a better option. Getting noticed necessitates active participation in the community. You can send a proposal outlining your intentions. First, research the platform or project, then identify any flaws and explain why you are needed. Make your pitch brief, but not desperate. Be prepared for an interview and keep your cool.

Crypto jobs are not obtained by simply submitting a CV. Be specific about what you want. Look into projects that interest you and join their communities. There is no such thing as a successful project without a community. Individuals form the foundation of the community. When you join, do not be an inactive member or one of those who cause chaos in the group. Make a positive contribution until you are noticed. Support the community, and they will come to you with open roles to add value in no time.
Meme Creators who create memes related to the project which helps the community’s activeness most times get recommended for job roles. Making research about a project and writing articles for the community can earn you a content writer role.
A podcast could be created for the project, and as people listen, they can share it with others outside the community. Don’t wait to be told what to do. You can carve out a niche for yourself. People who contribute positively are given opportunities by project owners.
As the world becomes more competitive, newcomers must perform to the best of their abilities. To stay up to date on blockchain news, use Coinmarketcap.com or Coingecko.com. Hashtags are more effective at sourcing projects and opportunities when used in conjunction with Twitter, Google, and Medium. To do your best, you must take ownership of the project. If money is your only motivation, you might not last long. When you build a relationship with a community, they will always provide you with additional opportunities.
