Ask HN: What skills to learn to land a job at a startup?

1 points by intellegacy ↗ HN
HN, I'm hoping to get a job at a startup in the Fall or Winter. My resume is not the greatest: long stretches without a job when I was traveling.

Coding skills are obviously something I can work on, but besides that I might want to work in product dev, or as a growth analyst. What skills should I work on that would let me get one of those jobs?

Thanks.

Hustle. Show that you will add value more than you will cost. Can you improve, sell or promote the product before you even join? They need a compelling reason to hire you, and by the sound of it, it won't be something on your resume (and it definitely won't be something you learned online over a month). Do something bold to show them your value.
