How to Join a Startup

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:53:00 +0000

Hey guys! Hope you are ready for some tips and tricks on how to enter the startup world and have an amazing time with your cool, passionate team.

But First

Let's get my credentials out first before we dive deep, I mean you wouldn't want to take advice from a noobie right?

Yours truly has been in the startup world since year 2012 and just FYI - even though I am now much more experienced and slowly easing my way towards building a career in Corporate, I believe one can never learn as much as in a startup while another can at a huge, multinational enterprise. This topic will need a separate post, let me know if you'd like me to cover this!

The first month in my first startup and I already knew that I wanted to be in it for the long run - I was in love guys.

The first month in my first startup and I already knew that I wanted to be in it for the long run - I was in love guys. Since then, I have been serving a total of x6 startups, all based in Malaysia (ahem, Klang Valley) in the IT-Software, Incubator - Accelerator, Social Media - Content Marketing industries and most of them are of less than 10-man to just a shy 30 employees. My success rate with my job applications with startups are quite high i.e more callbacks, interview invites and offers as I got more experienced - also probably due to my thoughtfully designed CV and list of my achievements as the Special Officer / Executive Assistant to CEO, Founder or Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

How to Join a Startup

I am assuming most of you reading this post are fresh grads or a seasoned executive from the blue collar world who are thinking about making a career jump, drop your stuff at your swanky office at Hartamas and dive into the startup world.

Let's get down to it! You ready?

Skills That Startups Love

Startups are highly result-driven, filed with opportunities to learn and widen your skillsets. They cannot afford to be slacking off or feel comfortable, because there is always a possibility that there is someone else out there crunching their hardest and become a major competitor one day.

So they need a team with the following set of skills, generally:

Google Suite: Familiar with Gmail, Google Drive and the other most-used applications such as Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets.
Comfortable with Technology: Also known as IT-literate, you are comfortable with learning a new software or use a different hardware or operating system for work
Great at Teamwork: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together". This phrase applies heavily in the startup world and so they need members who are great team players and cooperative when the need arises.
Great Communicator: Startups needs their members to be able to relay their thoughts articulately and properly. It should be a given that most of us went to school and would have the desired flair of communicating with another human being, but unfortunately that is not the case with some of the candidates I have encountered.
People Skills: Other than you hard skills, achievements and all the Dean's List that you show in your resume, startups actually want to work with people that they like AKA would like to work with. This is because startups are generally small in size and the whole team will probably be like a second family where you eat, work, laugh and grind together. So bring your personality to the interview, set yourself apart from the rest!
Critical Thinking: Without this you won't be able to survive. Really. Startups will need you to be able to think on your feet and most of the time under pressure, in a fast-pace environment. Sometimes it can be as stressful as Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen show. If you need to have manuals or check with your boss on every single little thing, startups are probably not for you.
Self-Starter and Proactive attitude: These are bonus traits that will make your career in the startup thrive and prosper. Your Founder or future boss may even check for these traits right before they call you in for interview i.e whether you ask for an information that could easily be found via Google Search during a quick call with HR or provide your portfolio along in your application.

Now let's move on to your CV.

Prepare a Startup-Worthy Resume

I'm going to be honest here. There is a high chance that the person who reads your CV is actually the Project Manager cum Team Lead, Admin cum Accounts, some Manager from Finance or Sales and Marketing. A startup member will sometimes need to wear multiple hats, especially if your role is the assistant to the Founder like I was *wink*.

So do you know what this means?

This means your resume has just 3-5 seconds before the hiring person moves on to the next one - especially if the company is on growth mode and they offer higher-than-average salary. Startups generally don't have those fancy Ai or softwares that scan resumes and CV's for the desired keywords. So your resume needs to give the hiring person what they need, where they need it and is easy to read.

So your resume needs to give the hiring person what they need, where they need it and is easy to read.

Here is how you can give your resume the best shot with startups, with the order that I think would be best:

Nice Headshot photo
Show a nice headshot photo with your best smile! We'd love to place a face with your name, it is human nature to be more drawn to faces than words.
Your Education
We obviously want to know where have you gone to study. State the university name in full and the major that you took, and whether it was a Certificate, Diploma, Degree or Masters.
Tip: Show off your CGPA 3.9 grade, sports / co-curricular activities or even the Secretary title you got in Kadet Remaja Sekolah (KRS) here
Show Off Your Achievements
Show what you achieved in university or high school, or even with your own personal passion projects. Tell me that you run a part time Graphic Design service, or had a successful project on sustainable livestock feeding using big data and Ai, or your team at school won a 3-day Hackathon in Beijing for the Most Innovative Idea. Your part time work at Starbucks can come after or just ditch it if not necessary.
Your Work History
Remember I talked about Critical Thinking earlier? If you're applying to a startup that offers brand activations and event solutions and you have experience doing part time events for the last 2 years in uni, you would want to put your work history first before your education. Experience usually weighs more to a startup because sometimes in life, being a book smart doesn't make you a street smart.
Experience usually weighs more to a startup because sometimes in life, being a book smart doesn't make you a street smart.
Your Skills
Sometimes the hiring person is an Admin and wouldn't know what Javascript is. So it's important that you list out the skills that you know of, starting from the ones that you are very confident with down to the least. You may also list out your soft skills here (psst..remember the Skills that Startups Love I told you earlier?).

Tip: Yes, you may put in your languages here as well and do state whether you can read, write and speak in each - it'll make my life easier. TQVM.
Miscellaneous Stuff
Add some flair and set yourself apart from your competitors with other related information about yourself i.e hobbies, volunteering work or sports, but don't get too far with it. We just need to know that besides your Type A achievements at school and work, you are also passionate, personable, inspiring or at least fun to be around with.
2-3 Fonts and 1-Page Only
Have you heard of Typography? Having 2-3 fonts max for your resume with coordinated, matching colour theme will make it stand out from the rest and most importantly, a joy to read. And unless you are an experienced candidate, I expect your resume to be just a one-pager. So make your content easy to read and succinct. Also play with the formatting styles i.e Bold, Italic and Underline to make it easier to find information on your resume.

Submit Your Application

Now that you have the skills and a resume that startups (hopefully) would want to interview for, it's time to submit! Generally there are more opportunities with startups at Hiredly (previously known as Wobb) compared to LinkedIn and JobStreet.

I highly recommend Hiredly because they are a startup as well, and they know how we think. =)

I highly recommend Hiredly because they are a startup as well, and they know how we think. =) Their app is like Tinder, swipe Right to submit your resume to the Poster Company or swipe Left to reject and show the next opportunity on your mobile screen. Your resume will be put under review once you upload it to their system, so give them 24 hours to approve your resume - usually the wait time is within 4-12 hours.

And that's it! Feel free to follow up with the startup directly for the position that you applied for - sometimes you'll even be given the HR's direct mobile number and email address. Hope this helps you in one way or another.

Good luck and happy job hunting!

The Not-So-Tiny-Fine-Print:
You may find that this post is targeted for fresh grads and you are right! Note that this post is merely based on my experience with several startups as their Special Officer, Executive Assistant and Office Manager - feel free to check them out on my LinkedIn profile here. Cheers!

It's Been A While

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 08:38:00 +0000

Hey you. It's been a while and I hope you're doing okay.

The Situation in Malaysia

Whoever you are, wherever you are, life is going to get more challenging with Covid-19, what with our latest change of cabinet and current regulations here in Malaysia - that seems to be improving slowly.

Just as how our Ministry of Health DG Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah is taking it day-by-day rallying up our frontliners improving mortality rates and and risking his and his staff's lives, I think the rest of us the rakyat should also start to slowly accept Covid-19 as an endemic. International Trade and Industry Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali recently informed the CNBC that Malaysia will start treating the virus Covid-19 as an endemic around end of October 2021, and estimated more than 75% of the population will be fully vaccinated by then.

By December companies and businesses, hopefully be allowed to open and run pre-Covid. Travel sectors, for domestic at least, be allowed and I can (finally) balik kampung to Sabah.

What I've Been Doing (Recently)

I have just revamped Glamiva.com with a new dress (do you like it?), look forward to get her up on her article count, SEO game and see where she'll fly next.

Since pandemic started there were some negativity and loss with the people around me and their close contacts, it was disheartening to watch and hear their stories of depression, anxiety, retrenchment, and even some - their well being.

With the extra time that I have during this pandemic what with working from home (WFH) and having lunch, dinner, workout, New Year, Raya, birthdays - basically a self-lockdown happening at home, I felt it's time to bring Glamiva back up and give her a new face. I'll talk more about it in my future post, but rest assured I plan to keep up my word this time as I believe she will bring me zen, soothe my soul and spread positivity to those who read her.

I have also been trying to lose weight. Believe me when I say those in 30's lose weight MUCH slower than when they were in 20. Been missing my fam too, I'll get teary whenever I see KK places or Raya pics with the fam on IG. #lifeishard

Okay that is all. Till next post, it feel great to reconnect and have a fresh start, even though it's September and we're 9 months past January. Hahaha

Better late than never, right?

Take care.

Review: I Love Yoo, Paradigm Mall Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Sat, 24 Nov 2018 13:18:00 +0000

During my KLIA2-Paradigm Mall (Petaling Jaya) trip, it was like, 6pm and I had Texas Chicken at about 4pm when I landed at the airport. I knew though, that I would be hungry at 10pm later and there will be no healthy food options around but chips - an idea of which I'm not too keen of.

Review: Aerobus KLIA2 Airport - Paradigm Mall, Petaling Jaya

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 10:22:00 +0000

It was the first time ever I took bus to/from airport. I took Aerobus from KLIA2 airport last week for my return flight to Kuala Lumpur. I figured it will cost me more by RM2-3 max + more time spent (by minimum 60 minutes) if I were to take bus from KLIA2 - KL Sentral (RM12) - LRT (RM3) - Grab (RM6) to my house. So it was a no brainer - KLIA2 - Paradigm Mall it is!

Booked the ticket via redBus, an online bus ticket booking platform the week prior. Paid via credit card and I was ready to go!

On the day of my return flight, I made my way to Level 1 where the taxi and bus are at. Make your way to level 1 past the taxi counters - you will then see the bus counters shortly.

Procrastination is My Enemy

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 15:48:00 +0000

Hey guys, it's November 15th and it's 2 more days to a year since my comeback post last 17 Nov 2017. To be honest I have not been fully committed to blogging for the past year, and I am ashamed of it. I am ashamed of using the excuses of work, leisure and relationships get in the way of blogging. Get in the way of expressing myself and taking care and nurture my personal thoughts, and opinions.

So last Dec 3rd, 2017, I went to the KL International Youth Discourse (KLIYD) 2017 at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur. All I had to do to attend was register online and show up at their registration counter on the event day, and receive their goodie bag.

Why Do People Fear Artificial Intelligence?

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 12:34:00 +0000

The whole world is talking about AI and how it will contribute to our society. Big companies are trying to benefit by reducing error-cost, countries are trying to build an AI arsenal to increase accuracy and to scare off their enemies. However, what is the consequence of having such an advanced technology? what is the backup plan if this technology turns out to be the worst thing ever invented? Well, first let’s understand AI better.

What is Artificial intelligence?

The first time the world heard the word “Artificial intelligence” was in 1955 by John McCarthy and his colleagues Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon. They defined Artificial intelligence as:

“every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves“.

In other words, it is the ability of a machine or computer to think and learn do something and be good at to some extent. Learn more here.

AI is an intelligent machine that is able to do a task in specific or many fields . But wait a minute, what is intelligence? How can we define the intelligence of a machine?

Hey guys!

Last weekend I went to Etsy Malaysia's Etsy Made Local Malaysia market at the Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia @Jalan Tandok, Bangsar. It was my first time there and getting a car park nearby was a bit of a challenge. But I managed to find a parking spot right outside the building, about 5 minutes walk under the sun.

Delilah is Back - 19 November 2017 Comeback

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Sun, 19 Nov 2017 08:40:00 +0000

Hey guys,

Delilah here. I'm not sure how many people will read this, but just for a milestone record - as of now, the pageviews for Glamiva is so, sooo much lower than how it used to be. Let me show you my blog stats as of 19 Nov 2017, 3.24PM (Malaysia time).

As you can see, for the past 4 weeks, Glamiva has only 3k+ pageviews, average pageview is about 30-50 per day. This is incomparable to her glory days where Glamiva can easily get thousands of pageviews a day. Nope I kid you not.

Glamiva was left by herself for the past 4 years (almost 5 now), thanks to me focusing on work since graduating in Aesthetics. So the sad stats today is a no-shock, it is expected. Painful but expected. My bad, I'm so sorry Glammy.

But not anymore.

I will make her The Blog of the community, of the country again, and beyond. She will have a new face and make a comeback strong with style, elegance and attitude. She will be the platform for honest beauty reviews, good food, community happenings, lifestyle and real talk.

I have so many things to share, so many stories to tell. What I've learned during my absence these past 5 years from personal and professional experiences will be put to the test in this quest, and I welcome you to subscribe (you will see my Feedburner page), follow me on Instagram @d3lilah and keep updated in my journey.

With love,
Delilah

Movie Review: Atomic Blonde (2017)

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 16:37:00 +0000

So...Atomic Blonde came out on July 28th and I watched it the next day on Saturday. I didn't think much of the movie and it was just out of sheer convenience + perfect timing.

So Atomic Blonde was touted amongst my friends as the "..female version of John Wick" and I entered the theatre with much anticipation and lukewarm-feeling in the stomach. Well I for one do not believe females can be all the testosterone we see in The Hulk, Bad Boys, Batman, Rambo.. - you get what I mean.

Well I was wrong. The make up and sound effects, coupled with Charlize Theron's and James McAvoy's acting, made me cringe and be amazed at some parts of the movie. Charlize can actually throw throw her heels out, fold up her sleeves and kick ass - and in the movie her character exudes this confident, empowered woman - which I really like. James McAvoy was the perfect co-star in the movie. He's damn good, nuf said.

The movie started by showing Charlize at the current state where she had a black eye and bruised face - setting the tone and mood on the audience for a thrilling experience ahead. The movie was exciting from start to finish, definitely worth the money spent. =)

And hey there's another co-star that I felt sooo familiar but couldn't remember where. Where oh where I saw her...

And after about 5 minutes of scavenging my brain folders - there she was, Sofia Boutella from The Mummy 2017. Haha! Who can forget that beautiful face and sultry eyes.

The story was presented at such that if you miss 10minutes of it, you won't get the story at all in the end. Haha. So be sure to use the washroom before the movie!

Verdict

Would I recommended? Yes, the movie is perfect to watch with the girls.

Probably not for those who loves muscles and gun-explosive scenes.

New Website: http://glamiva.com/

Hi all! I know it's been months since my last post and you know why? Because I have a new website already! Address? I give you one chance to guess.

Yeap, correct! It's http://glamiva.com/! I don't think you need another second more to guess right? xD

I actually had this blog on early May again, but I seriously had no time to post up an announcement here and let you all know about it. Now that I'm having my Raya holiday and back in Kota Kinabalu already, I've got time to spend with Glamiva again! =D

Why May?
I actually waited for May to come as May is my birth month. =) Thinking every year I'd be celebrating it's birthday, might as well celebrate it together with mine! How nice is that~

Newsletter Subscribers, Please Re-Subscribe!
Another important thing to announce is that since I got a new blog, it has a new feed and current newsletter subscribers won't get updates as you're currently subscribed to the glamiva.blogspot.com's feed. You can simply go to my blog at http://glamiva.com/ and enter your email address on the top right side of the blog or you can go to my rss feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/Glamiva and you can also bookmark it from there using podcatchers such as My Yahoo!, Podnova, netvibes, Bitty Browser and so many more! For iTunes users, you can add my rss feed at pcast://feeds.feedburner.com/Glamiva.

So please please please do resubscribe again, I apologize for this inconvenience and promise you I won't be changing anything anymore after this. =) Only one more time~

For those of you who'd missed my "Daily Activities", you can catch up at My Diary section and read up. Actually it's not all perfect yet, I've still got a lot more days of posts to post but haven't got the time to write. Promise will do soon!

Thank you very much blogger.com for all these years of service and I truly value your platform and all of the invaluable lessons learnt. Thank you thank you!

See you there! Website: http://glamiva.com/, RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Glamiva.

Big Mama Python Laid 21 Eggs at Bayan Lepas, Penang (VIDEO)

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:28:00 +0000

I never watch a python laying her eggs. Have you? I bet most of you don't..so which is why I'm going to share with you a video of 'Big Mama', a 7-metre long python who just gave birth this April! =D

She was delivering her python eggs in a snake farm next to the famous Snake Temple in Bayan Lepas, Penang. The snake farm reported that Big Mama was already pregnant when she was brought to the farm. She's reported to be 20-30 years of age, based on her size.

Up to this video was recorded, she had already laid 21 eggs. Normally, a python can lay up to 50 eggs one time! Can't imagine giving birth 50 times man....that must be...painful. Very. Very very very, VERY, painful.

The eggs would take up to 10 weeks to hatch and their survival rate would be 70%. That's quite high and it's a good thing, since it's a protected animal. I mean, endangered species. Ya la same thing la. xD

The farm will report to the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) on the number of eggs laid and hatched.

So mark the date- 23 April as the newborns's birthdates!

Justin Bieber's Hair for Animals Sold Off at US $40,668.00!

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 04:44:00 +0000

Wow. I'm speechless. Justin Bieber had just donated his hair for a good, really good cause of Ellen Degeneres's foundation, The Gentle Barn.

Picture from care2.com/

The Story
When Ellen's birthday was coming near, she tweeted that she had a one simple wish- a lock of Justin Bieber's hair and Justin tweeted back that she was getting her wish come true! Ellen got her gift and she decided to donate it for The Gentle Barn (an animal rescue organization). Justin even signed the box as a bonus! Whoa! It's something like our Datuk Lee Chong Wei gave away his winning racquet for charity. Awesome...

Youtube: Justin Bieber Presents Hair Present to Ellen Degeners
Watch this youtube video clip where Justin gave away his chopped locks off and signed the box!

Justin Bieber's Hair- The Winning Bid
It was auctioned off at a whopping US $40,668.00!! Whoa!! That's more than RM100,000 here! Way to go Bieb! So happy for the animals.

I wonder if this will spark a trend amongst celebrity now...you know, to auction off their hair or anything that belongs to them. That will be good. Very good. =)

Penang 'Fake Eggs' Weren't Fake!!

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 05:09:00 +0000

I repeat. The seized eggs that claimed to be fake, were not fakes at all! I mean the one from Pulau Tikus, Penang.

The Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (MOSTI) confirmed from perliminary study on the 'fake eggs' that the eggs are genuine ones, not fake ones. Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said that this is based on chemical tests on the egg shell protein, egg white and egg yolk.

It Happened Before
It seems that the ministry received similar reports in 2007 and then found out from tests that those were not fake eggs either. Sounds like the sheep cry wolf thing here.

Then...what about the youtube video that I shared titled Beware of Fake Eggs then?? Which egg was that?? o_0

Zizan (Raja Lawak) and Dira: TV3's 'Melodi' Hosts!

noreply@blogger.com (Glamiva) — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 05:09:00 +0000

Picture from bharian.com.my

This morning, I woke up...errrr wait, it was 12pm already actually. xD Let me re-phrase.

This afternoon, sharp 12pm, I woke up and turned the Sony Bravia tv on. Tv3 showed 'Melodi' and wut?? Zizan and who's that other girl?? What happened to Wahid and Fara??

So straightaway I Googled. xD Berita Harian Online reported that starting this April 2011, Zizan (Raja Lawak) and Dira Abu Zahar will be co-hosts for TV3's 'Melodi' show. Time would still be the same, every Sunday at 12.30pm.

Why The Change?
It seems that Wahid and Fara's host contract was expiring until end of March 2011, so the show's publisher, Azman Abd. Ghafar stated that after deep discussion several months before, a change of the front cover seems strategic and reasonable.

For Wahid's fans, you can still catch him in his spontaneous acts in a new show titled 'Ewah-Ewah' with Nabil that will be aired on TV3 this April! Wohoo! Fara? Don't know...not stated eh. All in all, all the best for these four in their new ventures!
