I'm writing because I've recently been introduced to someone in charge of HR at a prominent startup(Think Spotify, Uber, Airbnb, etc) through networking, and was in the midst of reaching out to the person when I feel like I had to ask myself the question: What's it like to work at a prominent startup, and what kind of things could I learn from it?

Have the skills they need specifically .There are a ton of people who do "social media marketing" or PR or whatever. But many of them suck and are generalists. We live in a world of specialists who succeed. Have SPECIFIC projects and milestones that you've worked on and achieved and can explain exactly how you did it, what challenges you faced and how you succeeded.

Also be persistent. The squeeky wheel gets the grease. But don't be needy. Sorta like with girls
