Today marks 25 years since my country was bombed, in the operation called “Merciful angel” or “Angel of Mercy” - whatever.

In 78 days of air strikes:
- 420k bombs were dropped on us
- 4k died (81 child)
- 25k homes destroyed, plus:
- 14 airports
- 18 kindergartens
- 39 hospitals
- 69 schools
- 176 historical sites
- 500+ kilometers of roads
Etc

I was nine. I remember my nose bled from fear. I don’t know how me being scared caused my nose to bleed, but it happened.
I remembered the duffle bag packed next to the door, with a few cans of food inside of it, some clean clothes, passports, and all gold jewelry we had- cuz we didn’t know if it would get worse.
I still have ptsd triggered every time I head air strikes sirens. Luckily, I don’t hear them much- only when they are testing if those still work, or when are paying tributes to the casualties.

Anyway, for years to follow, my father would use any opportunity to gift us gold jewelry. Why? Because: “If it gets bad again, money won’t worth much. We learned that in 1994. You exchange these ear rings/bracelets/necklaces for food or anything you need.

Nowadays, I don’t have a run away bag prepared. But trust me when I tell you, I could pack one in jut a few minutes.
Nowadays, I don’t buy my kid gold jewelry, I stack sats.
It could be one of the reasons why I’m bitcoining. It gives me a hope. An escape plan, among other things.

As for the first part of my note, let’s stop for a second to think about all kids around the world, their traumas, bleeding noses from fear and sleepless nights. Let’s pray for their beautiful souls and innocent lives.

The day has come! 🫣 For a while, I’ve been looking at the wonderful Bitcoin community, shyly, from the sidelines, supporting people and what they do for Bitcoin.

I thought I had nothing to say, or share with the world.

Then I realized, as a recruiter, that I had spent a fine amount of time daily, talking to job seekers about how they could improve their chances of landing their first Bitcoin-only job, or with the managers, how they could improve their recruiting. So it hit me- I have a lot to share, and I should write it down!

Today, I humbly present you my two ebooks. One is for job seekers in the Bitcoin industry, and another one is for start-ups on how to improve, or build from the ground up, their hiring processes.

I do this for the Bitcoin community, with the hope that we can create a common ground for job seekers and companies to better understand each other. For that reason, these guides are completely free, and no data will be collected.

I want to thank the people who supported me during this project:

@npub1y67n9... for her marketing magic, and for being an awesome friend
@npub16yvvw... for patiently listening to our ideas and for creating this Barbie Bitcoin vibe website
@npub1t3ggc... for his designs and for not giving up on us after realizing how many messages per minute we can send in the group chat
@npub1jaxs7... last but not least, Martell, for her amazing support and professional advices

I put a lot of love into these guides, so hopefully, you’ll find value in them 💜

Hiring thoughts: sending a two pages long cover letter, with nothing but your bitcoin story in it, may not be the best idea.
