In this class we will focus on better ways to understand and shape your own experience within the context of the startup ecosystem. 

 We'll cover the following topics: 

  • The differences in approach when interviewing at a startup vs a larger, more traditional company
  • Which parts of your work history and experience to focus on
  • What questions to ask during the interview
  • How to prepare so you feel confident, ready and well informed when you walk through the door
  • What traits startups tend to look for in their employees

Jonathan Basker is the VP of People and focuses on growth and organizational health at betaworks. Basically his job is to hire good people into betaworks and then make sure they're happy. He likes this job very much.
