💗 Want to get your first Web3 job? Start with the role, not with “Web3.”
A practical roadmap:
1. Pick 1–2 roles.
Support, marketing, community, engineering, design, data, sales, operations, etc.
2. Read real job descriptions.
Look at what those jobs repeatedly ask people to do.
3. Separate the gaps.
What do you already know? What Web3 context do you need? What skills do you need better proof of?
4. Learn only what is relevant.
You don’t need to understand every corner of crypto before applying.
5. Build something you can show.
A project, analysis, support guide, content sample, growth teardown, GitHub repo, community plan or whatever makes sense for your target role.
6. Get closer to the work.
Follow the companies, products, communities and people in that area. Pay attention to how the work actually happens.
7. Apply with evidence.
Show how your existing experience + new Web3 knowledge + work samples make sense for that specific role.
Then use the response you get to improve the next application.
Your first goal isn’t “get into Web3.”
It’s much smaller:
Become a convincing candidate for one specific Web3 job.
