Be A Startup Superstar: Ignite Your Career Working At A Tech Startup [EPUB]
E-Book Overview
Find a job and quickly climb the ranks at a tech startup, even if you’re not a techie.
Are you underemployed or struggling to find a fulfilling career? Stuck on a low rung of the corporate ladder and don’t see a way up anytime soon? You’re not alone. Like many recent college grads and people who feel stuck in their corporate jobs, you’ve probably never considered working for a technology company that’s just starting out, especially if you’re not a tech whiz. That doesn’t matter. Tech startups are desperate for talent and creativity in all kinds of fields from people with leadership skills and new ideas—people like you!
If you’re looking to turn your general business know-how into a wildly successful career, Be a Startup Superstar is your guide. Yes, you can love your work, feel energized by your role, and earn the income of your dreams. Author Steven Mark Kahan left his safe corporate job to join his first tech startup, and since then he has helped seven startup companies sell or go public (meaning early employees usually score big).
In this breakthrough book, Steve shows you how to:
• Look for five key traits when choosing a tech startup
• Get hired at a tech startup with your existing degree, skills, and experience
• Develop the leadership attributes and entrepreneurial mindset that can launch you to the top
• Make better decisions and get better outcomes in the tech startup world and beyond
Be a Startup Superstar provides the expert insider guidance you need to ignite your career by joining the tech startup revolution.
From the Inside Flap
If you're like so many recent college graduates, your current career bears little resemblance to what you imagined for yourself while still in school. You feel stuck. Stuck in an unfulfilling job, where the prospects of advancement and earning an excellent income seem light-years away. You have the education, the business acumen, and the ambition to succeed, but things are at a standstill.
Do you ever ask yourself: Why is it that all of the massive success stories appear to come from the tech world? You're not alone. Author Steven Mark Kahan was in your situation and found a way to build a great career and achieve immense financial and personal success. Steve will be the first to admit that he knew nothing about tech when he started his journey through the world of tech startups. But his willingness to take risks and jump on opportunities more than made up for his lack of technology skills and experience. In Be a Startup Superstar, Steve shows you where to find the best opportunities, how to take advantage of them, and how to choose a startup with the best chance for success.
Divided into two parts, this real-world guide enables you to find exceptional opportunities, seize them when the moment is right, and ignite your career in tech. Acknowledging that many startups fail, Part One focuses on how to mitigate the risks and provides you with the Five Key Traits to look for when selecting a tech startup before applying for a job. Part Two shares the Seven Keys to the C-Suite, the traits they don't teach you in college or on the job. These leadership attributes and an entrepreneurial mindset will separate you from the crowd and accelerate your career.
Be a Startup Superstar will help you make better decisions, get better outcomes, and raise your potential to the next level of success. There has never been a better time to stop climbing corporate ladders and start riding the tech startup rocket—straight to the top!
