If you are looking to get your foot in the door of the Bitcoin industry and be able to put your first Bitcoin "Proof of Work" on your resume - join the Bitvocation Talent Exchange (BTX).
TL;DR: The BTX offers Bitcoin enthusiasts the chance to gain practical experience in the industry through collaborative projects, enhancing their CVs and networking opportunities. The BTX does NOT offer financial compensation.
Bitvocation Community Layers
Since 2023, Bitvocation has been providing resources and insights for individuals interested in pursuing careers in Bitcoin. With a focus on education and accessibility, our goal is to empower Bitcoiners with the knowledge and tools they need to find their first job in the industry.
1. Free Bitvocation Job Feed
Since 2023, we’ve been providing the Bitvocation Feed on Telegram for Bitcoiners who are looking for an efficient way to stay uptodate with all the latest Bitcoiner jobs. Simply subscribe to the feed and let the job offers come to you!
In 2024 we also integrated it in Nostr, so you can also follow the Bitvocation Bot there.
2. POW (Proof Of Work) Lab
In 2024 we launched the POW Lab - an inexpensive educational community for Bitcoin professionals who want to become more findable by recruiters and hiring managers.
Besides providing general career coaching and guidance for our members, we also focus on helping them grow their network and profile on LinkedIn, as well as connect with each other. Also, all of our members get to join the Bitvocation Database of Bitcoin Professionals, which Bitcoin employers asked us to create for them.
We are specializing on non-dev professionals, so if you are a social media manager, customer support agent, accountant, operations manager, marketing manager, designer, etc - join us! Learn more about the POW Lab here.
3. BTX - Bitvocation Talent Exchange
With the BTX, we're taking things one step further and offer you a practical way to put your first work experience in Bitcoin on your resumé, especially if you’re looking for non-dev roles. Our goal at Bitvocation is to help Bitcoiners find their first job in Bitcoin, and we can do this best if we have first hand experience in working with you.
The BTX offers no financial rewards, but its purpose is to accelerate your job search. We do our best to recommend and connect you with valuable contacts and suitable hiring managers.
What kind of roles or tasks are available in the BTX?
Whether it is web design, graphics design, video editing, content creation, representing us at conferences, social media, AI automation, or other skills you have - we will probably need them as we continue building Bitvocation.
All positions are very part-time and can easily be done next to a full time job.
Update November 13:
We are currently looking for a video editor for a short project (editing interviews and Shorts) and a graphics designer who can help us create a PDF layout for our monthly jobs report. We could also use the help of a Project Manager!
If this is something you want to do for us, please take the time to read til the end of this page and contact us through the application form with some samples. 🧡
Why is the BTX important?
In order to find work in Bitcoin you need two main ingredients: Proof of Work and a strong network.
The BTX gives you both: You will be able to demonstrate your skills, receive endorsements for them, and have not only Anja in your immediate network, but all the other BTX members as well. They will all eventually move on to work for Bitcoin companies, where they can recommend and refer you, which will make your network stronger and stronger.
Bitvocation does not aim to be a recruitment agency in the traditional sense, but our goal is to be able to make quality recommendations and create great matches. We can do this best, if we actually know you and have first-hand experience in working with you.
BTX Details
BTX members will not be financially compensated, but receive the benefits listed below in return for their contribution. We aim to attract only Bitcoiners who want to authentically be able to establish their first proof of work and therefore consider this exchange a win-win.
Here's what you'll gain from joining us:
Mentorship: Guidance and support from Anja
Referrals and Recommendations: You'll be in Anja's "little black book" and be top of mind for referrals and recommendations when opportunities arise
First "Proof of Work" in Bitcoin: Add Bitvocation to your CV/resume as your first experience in the Bitcoin ecosystem
Endorsement: Receive a testimonial from Anja upon completion of your term with Bitvocation
This is NOT an internship
Do not apply in order to learn new skills. The purpose of this exchange is to give you an opportunity to showcase and get endorsed for your existing skills within the Bitcoin ecosystem, so you can start your transition from a traditional fiat role to a new career in Bitcoin.
Apply if:
You're passionate about Bitcoin and eager to immerse yourself in the industry
You possess the skills required for the desired tasks, supported by previous experience in other industries
You can meet agreed deadlines and demonstrate reliability and responsiveness
You never let your clients wonder when you will deliver on a promise
Do NOT apply if:
You want to do us a favor. That’s very kind of you, but we’re not looking for free help. This will only work if you have a motivating reason to join us and if this is a win-win for both sides.
You have too many other priorities and can’t follow through on the agreements we will make. We fire wrong matches (unresponsive people) very quickly, while the right matches stay with us for as long as they want. Having a strong filter like this is necessary for us to build a database of only the highest quality people.
How to apply
You can contact us through the application form below. Please keep the following things in mind:
Approach your application like an entrepreneur showcasing their services.
Share examples of your previous work and demonstrate your capabilities through practical examples.
“Show, don’t tell.” We are not interested in your cv, but in seeing your skills in action. If you want to create e.g. video reels or shorts for us, don’t send us a document that says you can do that, but simply create some! Don’t wait for permission :)
It doesn't matter how many years of experience you have, how young or old you are and what your background is - what's important is that you have the required skills to make an impact on Bitvocation's future and growth.
Bitvocation's mission is to help more Bitcoiners find jobs in Bitcoin - through information, education, collaboration, tools and services.
