Yes, you read that right. Let me repeat it.

How I landed a crypto job without applying for it, and it's not just one job!

I wrote an article yesterday [4 reasons why I don't apply for crypto jobs that ask for a CV]( https://inleo.io/@jaraumoses/4-reasons-why-i-stopped-applying-for-crypto-jobs-that-ask-for-a-cv-8sn?referral=jaraumoses), which you need to check out if you haven't read it.

In that article, I explained in detail why I don't apply for crypto jobs the official way and said I would write about the ways I used and hence this post.

Yes, it's confusing how I claim to get crypto jobs and yet I don't apply for them!

The title isn't clickbait as you might think.

#### My Background 
I've been in crypto for 8 years now and have seen and experienced a lot so far to come to my conclusion and methodologies of applying for jobs.


I'm so weird that I've never sent anyone or company my CV because I don't have one, as I mentioned in my article yesterday.

So you might be asking! 

What do you present as your CV? Great question, I present my Twitter account and probably YouTube! 

Okay now that's fucked up you might say, but it's the reality.

I'll explain about this later in the post. Keep reading.

So you might be asking how I get these gigs, let me explain below 👇 

### How I Get Crypto Jobs Without Applying! 


I know this is the part you've all been waiting for, and it's time I give it to you.

Before I go any further, these are methods that have worked for me 🙏 

They might not work for you, or they might.

Okay let's go into it.

#### 1. Being Active on Twitter 
Yes, you read that right, being active on Crypto Twitter or CT has helped me get jobs without applying!

Hold on, you mean that by me being active on CT, I can get a job? 

Yes, you can, let me explain below 

I got a crypto job after joining a random Twitter space that had a friend in it, yes, a friend was in the space, so I was shown that he was in the space.

I listened to the space, and towards the end, they advertised for a community mod job, and they said those interested should DM.

I DMed for more info, and the rest, as they say, is history! 

Why was I chosen, if you're asking?

I attended the Twitter space, learned about this project, and I DMed for more information.
 
I'm sure if my Twitter wasn't top-notch, they wouldn't even have responded to my DM.

I'm a reply guy on Twitter if you know what that means..... I'm terminally online and keep replying to CT or crypto posts, and this has made me gain the following of some of the most influential people in Crypto, including...you find out by yourself 

If you want to check out [my Twitter/x account](https://x.com/JarauMoses?t=9llyWUW7gV4kGt8TSMv7Lg&s=09)
I use the same names as here, ie jaraumoses 

I have also got many other KOL gigs from my Twitter because I'm active there.

Projects DM me to collaborate or partner with them, all because I'm active there.

So being active on Twitter has helped me secure gigs.

Mind you, these Twitter projects or folks have never asked me for my CV.

So, in summary, my Twitter is my CV! 

#### 2. Engaging In Communities.

This is another technique I've used to secure crypto jobs.

This one is kinda tiresome though if you're not someone who genuinely wants to help.

Let me explain below.

When I see a project has advertised for a gig I qualify for, like Community Mod or Manager or Reply Guy.

I don't apply for the job, instead I demonstrate that I can do the job by actually doing the job!

I join the project TG or DC group and actually do the work of a Mod or Community Manager.

Most times, after a few days or weeks of volunteering, I always get DMs from the devs or founders of the project recognising my great work and hence offering me the gig.

I always DM the devs or founders after like a month of my active participation in their group project, in case they haven't seen my efforts.

If I'm turned down, I exit the group and join another project....rinse and repeat.

One time a Reply Guy and Memer job was advertised, I joined their group and my first message was a fucking meme! 

Yes I love memes and I also create them so I'm fucking good in memes if I'm to brag hehe.

Guess what happened? I got DMed by the founder, and I was hired straightaway.

So, demonstrating that you can do the job can get you the job! This looks straightforward. 

I once read a quote by Jim John 
 
> Do more than you get paid for because that's where the fortune is 

Also, another quote or philosophy I've lived by is by Napoleon Hill, and it goes like 

> Always go the extra mile because most people do the bare minimum 

The extra mile gets you noticed! 

Also, these guys didn't ask for my CV, they just asked for more info about me, like my Twitter....I also gave them my YouTube channel because I do have a channel using the same name jaraumoses.

You can check it out, you never know, you might be my next employer hehe.

So if you genuinely like a project and it aligns with your values, join their TG, DC or any community and contribute wholeheartedly.

You might be hired for even a non-existent role hehe 

#### 3. Referrals 
Always have a good relationship with any of your employers because they'll refer you to other jobs. 

I have gotten gigs because my former employers referred me to their friends.

Of course, no CV is needed when you're referred by someone because they already know your capability.

This is all I've remembered so far over my 7-8 crypto career on how I've secured gigs.

If I remember anything else, I'll make a new post or update this.

So when I said I don't/didn't have a CV and don't apply to jobs that ask for one, this is what I meant.

So these are my Orthodox methods I  use to secure crypto gigs.


Have you applied any of the above methods or not? 

Which other orthodox methods have you used that don't involve writing an application and a CV? 

I'll be waiting in the comments for your views.

I used my phone to write this, so it might have some errors which will be edited tomorrow when I'm on my laptop!
