Does anyone know of any defense-specific startups hiring? A good friend of mine is looking for roles in startups on the policy/strategy/investor relations side of things fresh out of school. He’s new to startups side of things but has lots of research experience and brilliant.

We work with earlier stage startups at my company but I’d love to point him in the right direction - either in form on a job board, companies or specific players in that space willing to take on an intern. TIA!

Straight out of school = straight out of undergrad? Not sure of there are many roles for someone like that...

Yes, he’s straight out of undergrad!

To be honest, I haven’t seen many good fits for his background but he’s really interested in defense and I got him interested in the startup space.

Due to COVID, he’s in between hearing back from military intelligence positions and a few three lettered agencies on working in defense with background checks taking longer than usual. He’s worked at think tanks and done lots of research & writing on foreign policy *but* I’m not sure where (and if) any opportunities exist for his experience & background.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience?

The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
