What You’ll Learn

In this interactive course, you'll get actionable tips that will help you accelerate your venture capital job hunt, and get you off on the right foot if you're just getting started on your quest to become a VC.

We'll be covering topics including:

How to secure interviews (Hint: It's not by asking for a job)
How to identify which firms may be hiring (when they all say they're not hiring)
How to stand out from a ridiculously competitve pack of applicants
How to follow up like a pro
How to negotiate an offer
How to build a powerful network that will benefit you for the rest of your career, even if you don't end up working in VC

Note that the content will be heavily focused on how to secure a job in venture capital, but many of the tips will have applications to other kinds of job hunts.
