During the bear market and the impact of AI, how to find a good job in Web3?
First, completely abandon the job-seeking mindset of Web2!
Stop stubbornly struggling with some traditional platforms like Boss or Zhilian in China; many good Web3 teams actually do not rely heavily on these platforms for recruitment.
Instead, the real recruitment battleground is:
Discord groups, testnet communities, ecosystem funding projects, and even the circles of contributors who are active daily and continuously deliver results.
While you are waiting for a response from HR, someone on Telegram may have already secured their desired offer.
Secondly, Web3 teams actually do not pay much attention to your educational background (of course, some will say that a degree is a stepping stone, which is also true).
Your on-chain footprint is very important.
🔸 Continuous submission records on GitHub
🔸 Activity level in the industry on X
🔸 Contributions to testnets you have participated in
🔸 Nodes you have operated
The DAO communities you have joined, and even the good reputation you have built up on the testnet, are your strongest business cards; your identity is every bit of effort you put in on-chain and online.
Here are 8 real Web3 recruitment platforms that you can bookmark and refresh daily:

Covering all categories of positions, rejecting ineffective internal friction.
Additionally, I would like to share a proven effective 30-day learning strategy; sticking to it will allow you to rank in the top 10% of all applicants:
🔸 Post 1 piece of Web3 learning content daily
🔸 Participate in 10 discussions in the CT industry
🔸 Apply for 5 suitable positions
🔸 Contribute code to open-source projects
🔸 Join 2 new testnets for learning and exchange
🔸 Output 1 short tutorial or GitHub submission
Quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes (I know you won't do this, but please believe that as long as you keep learning English, continuously publish your own content, and participate in project content, you will definitely succeed).
Essential content to learn in Web3:
Your on-chain footprints such as GitHub/X account, testnet participation records, airdrop experiences, DAO contributions, etc., can let recruitment teams see at a glance that you are a "deeply engaged person in the crypto field."
Finally, a reminder: building a personal brand, a good post, a quality code repository, or a detailed testnet report can directly lead to job opportunities.
