This is a YouTube video titled "How to get a job at a great startup (it's not about your experience!)" containing a monologue by Neil Young recorded in June 2024. In this content, Neil Young discusses the value of originality and effort over traditional credentials or resume quality when applying for jobs at startups.

I get emails and DMs and tech all the time from people, you know, that want a job here. I feel really grateful that we built a company that is true, that wasn't always true. And it's really interesting. I, I wish I could tell them I don't care where you I don't care the name of the noun that's in your email. And then, you know, versus someone. This woman sent me this prototype the other day of something she did for fun and prototypes wrong. There wasn't coded form factor was almost like this, like slide deck. But it was just the thought was original, the effort was original. So for us, it's less about where you've practiced or how good your resume is, and more what are you showing up with in terms of that originality, either in thought or in craft or personality. And then letting that shine.
