010 - How to Win the Job with a Solopreneur (or Small Business)

Have you ever considered working for a solopreneur? Most candidates don’t, because the idea of being part of such a small team can be unnerving. But, bigger doesn’t always mean better! And if you want to get hired by a very small company, you’ll need to know the traits and behaviors that will make you stand out. Here’s a little-known secret: the things that solopreneurs look for in candidates are unique (and for good reason, because the type of candidate who will thrive in a 1 or 2 person shop is often quite different than someone who will fit well into a larger company). Solopreneurs have a different concept of what the ideal candidate looks like.

So, how can you impress a solopreneur? Clarisa Lindenmeyer is here to give us some answers! Clarisa is a business strategist and the CEO & Founder of Proximity to Power, a consultancy supporting CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs in growing their companies. Up until very recently, Clarisa was a solopreneur herself – until she made her first full-time hire. She joins us today to share the story of how she found (and selected) her new assistant, and also dispense some fantastic advice about how you can get noticed (and, ultimately, win the job!) with any solopreneur.
