Back to topic at hand

1 Your education doesn't mean anythingUnless regulations require it or you graduated from Harvard

2 Your resume is (mostly) worthlessUnless it's a big company and your resume is amazing

3 Your future employers WILL Google/Facebook youThink 10 times before you post something on the Internet

4 Any work is better than no workIt's better to be a store clerk then have a 2 years unemployment gap

5 Knowing languages (human and computer) can give you a leg upEmployers will appreciate you knowing C++ and Spanish in today's global world

6 Don't ever badmouth your previous employerUnless you're not interested in getting the job

7 Right attitude and passion mean more then you can ever imaginePassion + Good attitude + Potential > Experience + Education

8 Be humble, but not too humbleDon't be afraid to be proud of your achievements, but remember business is a team sport

9 Never try to lie or trickEmployers talk to other employers so bad word travels fast

10 Be willing to take risksEntrepreneurship is all about risk taking so we value people can have guts to take risk

11 Be willing to take initiativeThis is what separates good employee from an amazing one

12 There is always a job openingWhen we meet right people we will always try to hire them

13 Good humor is always appreciatedWe want to work around people that make us feel good
