#hiringfriday 06.14.24 - this old startup edition
Happy #hiringfriday - and get prepared for me to thoroughly destroy a metaphor.
One common topic with job searching folks is the best way to describe the type of work at which they excel. We’re all familiar with the wildly over-used terms of “Builder” and “Zero to One,” but what if that’s not your jam? How do you accurately categorize yourself in a 25 minute network call?
My solution when searching was to call myself a “renovator.” I thrive in environments where there is a solid foundation but still a lot of work to do to get something up to code and take it to the next level. This resonated well - the description of the series B/C companies I was speaking with as well-built but in need of a “glow up” worked for founders, and helped them conceptualize my skill set. I imagine the building metaphor can be stretched further - founders are the developers, finding open space or tear-downs and laying out the plan. Later-stage executives are portfolio managers, helping to run and improve margin on established properties. I could keep going but you get the idea.
The companies below fall at all spectrums of this belabored metaphor. Good luck with the search!
Are you a builder, renovator, or something else? Should I leave the house hunting to HGTV? Let me know in the comments!
