Crash: Pitch a Company, Get a Job

There’s a certain type of young adult. You probably know one, or perhaps you are one. 

This person earnestly participates in high school. Sports, grades, activities. They take the ACT and apply to a bunch of colleges. They get into a few; they get rejected by a few. 

This 18-year-old doesn’t know what they want in life -- but who does? College is the answer; we all know people with degrees earn a higher salary than people without them. 

Fast forward to graduation. Perhaps they received a degree in business or liberal arts. But can’t find a job. What’s their solution? Oftentimes it’s more of the same: off to grad school. More time spent away from the real world, more money spilling out of their bank account. 

It’s easy to blame the major: “you should’ve studied engineering.” And while we need more engineers, that’s not the issue. 

The issue is this: it’s a myth that you need a degree to get an entry level job. 

Instead, you only need to do two things: provide value, and show that you can provide value. 

And it turns out those two things are a lot easier to do than most people think. And they certainly don’t require going to college. 

What’s the problem?

Crash is a place for non-technical job seekers to launch their careers. 

Crash figured out the best way to get hired, then turned it into a replicable system for other people to use. 

Most candidates approach job seeking in the same way. They write a resume and cover letter and apply to hundreds of jobs. It rarely works, and never works well.
