Slushhh is here 🤑

Hello Hello!

Last week we spoke about preparing for Slush. Well, Slush Week is finally here and the city is going to be chaotic and full of new people. I hope you took my advice and checked out the side events because I really wish I was able to be in multiple places at once.

One thing that got maybe a bit lost last week (my bad! I just assumed!) is what Slush actually is. Slush is a startup and tech event held in Helsinki every November. It’s probably the biggest tech event In Europe. It attracts a super international and interesting crowd. Slush is the place founders go to to meet investors, so it’s maybe not super interesting if you’re neither, but it’s much more than a trade show. 

Every year, Slush happens mostly thanks for thousands of volunteers, some of which travel from abroad just to help out! If you missed out on being a volunteer, you should definitely plan ahead for next year.

Will you be going all out for Slush Week? Or just watching from the sidelines?

Let me know!

💡Always keep in mind…

All skills are transferrable

When talking about your experience, you should always be in control of the narrative. If you’re volunteering at Slush as, for example, Badge Claim, it might seem like you’re just printing badges and handing them out - in reality, you’re dealing face-to-face with customers, problem-solving, sometimes managing people and schedules, using new software and so on. Learn to reframe those experiences and you’ll never have an empty cover letter!

🍃Have you…
