Breaking Into Startups: Episode 13 - Elaina Koros; Passionate writer turned Content Strategist at Facebook — Proof that you can break into tech from any background

Facebook has been hiring a lot of writers lately and everyone's asking whether they're turning into a media company. While that's debatable, today's Breaking Into Startups episode features Elaina Koros, Content Strategist at Facebook HQ, where she uses research to help design products. http://bit.ly/BreakingIntoStartu... She also talks about how writing helped her cope with bullying growing up, female leadership, her insight on journalism dying vs. tech growing, how she grew from feedback that could have been perceived as demotivating, resume building, storytelling, mentorship, and how she hustled her way into her position at Facebook. Listen as she also shares key insight around the importance of understanding other roles on the team rather than being soley focused on the job you've been hired to do and how she designs words to capture the appropriate tone for over a billion people on the Facebook network.
