HOW TO FIND A WEB3 JOB — THE PRACTICAL GUIDE Day 1 → Positioning Day 2 → Proof of Work Day 3 → Research Day 4 → Outreach Day 5 → Networking Day 6 → Applications Today → Putting it all together You don’t need to send 500 applications to get a Web3 job. You need to become visible, credible and easy to hire. Here’s how: Pick your lane Don’t say: “I’m looking for any Web3 job.” Choose a specific direction: • Community Manager • Technical Writer • BD / Partnerships • Researcher • Growth • Product • Developer Be specific enough to be remembered. Build proof of work Don’t just tell people what you can do. Show them. Community Manager → community growth, campaigns, engagement. Technical Writer → documentation, research, technical articles. BD → partnerships, leads, KOL campaigns, conversions. Build work people can actually see. Find projects Use platforms like: • CoinGecko • CoinMarketCap • DeFiLlama • RootData • CryptoRank • DexScreener • X Don’t only look for job postings. Find active projects that need what you can offer. Research before reaching out Study: • Product • Community • Content • Growth • Team • Social presence Then ask: “What problem can I solve for this project?” Your research makes your pitch stronger. Find the right person Look for: • Founder • Hiring Manager • Growth Lead • Community Lead • Marketing Lead • BD Lead Don’t rely only on generic application forms. Get closer to the person who can actually hire you. Make your outreach specific Don’t say: “Hi, I’m looking for a Web3 job.” Say: “I came across your project and noticed [specific opportunity]. I work in [your role] and have a few ideas around how I could help with [specific area]. Here’s some of my work: [portfolio].” Give them a reason to respond. Create opportunities You don’t always need an open position. Find a problem → create something useful → show it to the team. Community strategy. Technical documentation. Growth ideas. Research. Partnership opportunities. Don’t wait to be hired before demonstrating your value. Follow up and keep going Track: Applications → Replies → Interviews → Offers And: Outreach → Conversations → Referrals → Opportunities If nobody responds, improve your approach. Don’t just send more applications. The Web3 job-hunting formula: Positioning + Proof of Work + Research + Outreach + Networking + Consistency Don’t position yourself as someone looking for a job. Position yourself as someone who can solve a problem for a Web3 company.

DAY 2: HOW TO BUILD PROOF OF WORK FOR WEB3 JOBS Day 1 → Positioning Today → Proof of Work Day 3 → Research Day 4 → Outreach Day 5 → Networking Day 6 → Applications Day 7 → Putting it all together Your CV says what you can do. Your proof of work shows it. Here’s how: Pick your role Choose what you want to be hired for: • Community Manager • Technical Writer • BD / Partnerships • Researcher • Growth • Product • Developer Build around the role Community Manager → campaigns, engagement, community growth Technical Writer → documentation, research, technical articles BD → partnerships, leads, KOL campaigns Developer → projects, GitHub, tools, contributions Solve real problems Don’t create random portfolio pieces. Pick a real Web3 project and identify something you could improve. Then create the solution. Make your work public Publish your work on: • X • GitHub • Medium/Substack • Notion • Personal website Make it easy for someone to verify your skills. Keep building You don’t need 20 portfolio pieces. Start with 2–3 strong examples that clearly show what you can do. Don’t just tell people you’re qualified. Give them a reason to believe you.

DAY 3: HOW TO RESEARCH WEB3 PROJECTS FOR JOBS Day 1 → Positioning Day 2 → Proof of Work Today → Research Day 4 → Outreach Day 5 → Networking Day 6 → Applications Day 7 → Putting it all together Before you pitch a Web3 project, understand what they’re building. Here’s how: Find projects Use: • CoinGecko • CoinMarketCap • DeFiLlama • RootData • CryptoRank • DexScreener • X Look for active projects that match your skills. Study the project Check: • Product • Website • Socials • Community • Content • Team • Roadmap Understand the project before you reach out. Find the gap Ask: What are they doing well? What could they improve? Where can my skills create value? Match the gap to your skill Community Manager → engagement, retention, activations Technical Writer → documentation, education, research BD → partnerships, KOLs, growth opportunities Don’t pitch everything you can do. Pitch what they actually need. Find the right person Look for: • Founder • Hiring Manager • Growth Lead • Community Lead • Marketing Lead • BD Lead Then take your research and make your pitch specific. The goal isn’t to find a company that’s hiring. It’s to find a project where your skills solve a real problem.
