Material Drop 06 made me rethink how I present myself when applying for roles. I have always assumed that experience and a good looking CV were the main things recruiters cared about, but the idea that people hire based on signals that are hard to fake makes a lot of sense, especially in Web3.
When I looked at my X feed, I realized I post mostly about crypto, airdrops, and projects I am interested in. I think that helps because it shows I am actually active in the space and not just applying because I need a job. At the same time, I could do a better job of sharing my own thoughts instead of only reposting information from others.
Out of the four traits mentioned, my biggest strength is hunger. I am constantly looking for opportunities, learning about new projects, and trying to improve my skills. That's honestly what brought me into Web3 in the first place. My biggest weakness is talkativeness without a prompt. I can contribute well in conversations, but I am not always the person who naturally starts discussions or shares ideas first. That is something I need to work on because community roles reward people who engage proactively.
The point about finding projects before everyone else really stood out to me. Most people wait for job openings to be announced, but the people who get noticed early are already contributing before there is an official role available. That is a mindset shift I want to adopt.
If I had to write my LinkedIn headline in seven words, it would be:
Curious builder learning, contributing, and growing daily.
