22 mins to read Introduction: A Late-Night Coding Dream and Job Seekers' Dilemmas
Whoa, tonight while debugging a smart contract, the gas fees went through the roof, almost blowing up my wallet! Seriously, this reminded me of the resumes sent by job seekers—clearly writing terrible code, yet claiming to be blockchain geniuses.
Wait, what am I doing? Coding again in the middle of the night! Three cups of coffee are already cold... But this is my daily life: a former Solidity developer turned recruitment consultant. Recently, while helping employers recruit for Web3 education positions, I've noticed several interesting phenomena.
The blockchain technology updates too quickly for students' knowledge to stay relevant. Yet, the market demands a large number of technically proficient educators to train the next generation of developers. It's like trying to solve an infinite recursive function—the more you try to fix it, the more complex it becomes!
Why is Web3 Education the Current Trend?
Web3 Education is not just about knowledge transfer; it's about cultivating mindset. Imagine mining in DeFi protocols—it's risky but offers high returns! The same logic applies to learning blockchain technology.
The founder of Ivan on Tech said in an interview: "Blockchain is not a technological revolution; it's a social revolution." This reminds me of my own transition from development to recruitment—moving from building things to helping others build things.
The role of Blockchain Academy and other training institutions is becoming increasingly important. They don't just teach students how to write smart contracts; they cultivate their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Just like debugging a complex Solidity contract requires multi-angle thinking.
Technical Realities in Recruitment: What Employers Truly Seek
To be honest, when recruiting blockchain training experts, I'm often asked the same question: "Besides technical skills, what else is essential?" My answer is always: teaching ability and community engagement.
The recruitment case of Moralis Academy is quite illustrative. Their team not only understands technology but can also simplify complex concepts for beginners. Just like when I write this code, I consider readability:
// Concise and clear Solidity examplefunction calculateGas() view public returns (uint) { return block.gasprice.mul(block.timestamp);}Wait, wait! What am I doing? Suddenly thinking about controlling the egg-cooking process—overdoing it makes the egg tough (like outdated technology), underdoing it leaves it raw (like a junior developer's skills). Finding that perfect balance point is key.
The Chainshot Phenomenon: How Gamified Learning Changes the Education Ecosystem
Chainshot has recently sparked热议 in the recruitment community. They're redefining the blockchain learning experience with gamified elements—just like using Python scripts to automate repetitive tasks, turning the dull learning process into an engaging adventure game.
Personally, I think this is a win-win situation: learners find it easier to persist (unlike debugging buggy code, which can be frustrating), and companies find it easier to identify talent (since they've learned through game-like methods). Think about it—testing whether someone can quickly master new tools in recruitment is more reliable than checking if they can memorize textbook knowledge, right?
In sharing his teaching experiences, Ivan on Tech mentioned: "The best teachers are those who can both write code and explain it." This reminds me of my own awkward experience when first teaching programming—writing code at lightning speed but no one could understand it.
The Myth of Technical Stacks in Blockchain Education: What to Teach and What Not to?
This question is quite interesting from a technical perspective. Just like choosing a programming language: EVM or Rust? ZK Proofs or Optimistic Rollup? The answer depends on specific needs.
EVM is like a classic bicycle—durable and reliable but not trendy. Rust is like an electric bicycle—faster but requires more maintenance knowledge. Web3 education should teach students about the possibilities and trade-offs of various technical stacks.
The approach of Moralis Academy is excellent: their basic courses cover EVM smart contract development, while advanced courses delve into Rust or other languages. This way, students can flexibly adjust their skill sets according to market demands.
Moralis Academy Recruitment Case Analysis: Examining One's Own Shortcomings from a Job Seeker's Perspective
When helping job seekers prepare their resumes, I often encounter a common issue: GitHub resumes overly focus on showcasing skills while neglecting the problem-solving process. It's like writing a complex Solidity code but forgetting about gas optimization.
- Lack of context in GitHub project descriptions
- Choice of technology stack doesn't consider market trends
- No demonstration of teamwork capabilities
Improvement Suggestions:
- Add "Challenges Encountered" and "Solutions" sections after each project
- Pay attention to current hot areas like zero-knowledge proofs
- Participate in open-source projects to showcase real-world applications
Ivan on Tech Recruitment Practices: Finding Genuine Technical Communicators
In an article, Ivan on Tech shared an interesting observation: "The best technical communicators are often those who have been troubled by complex concepts themselves." This perspective is equally applicable in recruitment.
Ivan on Tech Recruitment typically seeks candidates with solid technical backgrounds who are also good at expressing themselves. The cooperation cases between Moralis Academy and Blockchain Academy demonstrate the market value of such talent.
From a coding perspective, an excellent Web3 educator should possess:
- In-depth understanding of underlying technical principles
- The ability to simplify complex concepts
- Community engagement (which is especially important in the Web3 world)
Future Outlook: Three Predictions for the Future of Web3 Education
Based on current market conditions and personal observations, I believe Web3 education will see three major trends in the coming years:
- NFT Certificates and Decentralized Learning Records: Like digital identity verification
- Cross-Chain Learning Platforms: Supporting teaching for multiple blockchain technology stacks
- AIGC-Driven Personalized Learning Experiences: AI assistants providing 24/7 help
