A lot of the skills you've picked will be marketable. Take a look at your resume, and ask yourself how well it communicates what you learned about: databases, web servers, system maintenance, typography, design, AB testing, payment systems, Apps (facebook, iphone, android), well known software/libraries, git, unit testing, agile, business development, networking, marketing, blogging, and sales. You're in the business of selling yourself. Try writing about the 'benefits' you provide your employer, not your 'features'. For example: 6 years of startup experience is a feature. Ability to bring products to design-completion/code-completion/market is a benefit. Knowledge of several key technologies is a benefit because you don't need training nor time to get up to speed. Your startup experience means your used to working without much direction, you're used to working hard, you are flexible/resourceful, you understand the role and importance of sales, marketing, and customer service in an organization, and you are connected to the startup network -- a connection your employer could benefit from when hiring. You should try to present the benefits you feel will maximally impress your future employee. |
