To land a Web3 job, you need humility, hunger, and smartness. Humility means being collaborative. Hunger means high energy and a drive to work hard, not wanting to chill. Smartness covers both IQ and emotional intelligence. Most candidates excel in one area, but the best hires have all three.
We want to work with people that understand Web3 but have Web2 professionalism. So kind of like a Web 2.5, right? They want kind of the best of both worlds. What does that mean exactly? A lot of people are throwing this word around, professionalism, whatever. Professionalism is very simple. There's actually a book called The Ideal Team Player that was written by Patrick Lencioni. And this book, the great thing about it is it outlines 3 key traits that you need from an ideal team player. So you want someone that's humble. You want someone that's hungry and you want someone that's smart, right? And smart could mean EQ, that can mean IQ as well. So IQ is intelligence, right? But EQ is also emotional intelligence, how you work with other people. Hungry is obviously you have to have the energy, right? Willing to push really hard because most people, they don't want to work hard. Most people want to chill, right? Sad to say that. Most people, unfortunately, they're probably smart on one but not necessarily on the other. So you're really looking for someone that has all these traits, right?
