Sarah Hody, a lawyer from the Washington, D.C. area, was an example of someone from outside this discipline interested in digital currencies.At the fair, Hody spoke with companies about her legal skills and why bitcoin was a good fit for her career goals:“It’s an intersection of my passions, which are business, finance and international law. I see bitcoin technology changing the future of all of that.”Dan Roseman, founder of bitcoin jobs site Coinality and a key figure helping get the job fair off the ground, said that an understanding of bitcoin’s potential is key for non-developer job seekers in the market.Roseman said:“You should know the basics, you should probably have interacted with bitcoin at some point, so you know how it works and you know what it feels like. Other than that, just be good at whatever your skill or trade is.”Future job fairsRoseman told CoinDesk that the idea for the job fair came from a tweet to Andreas Antonopoulos, who then put his name behind the effort and spoke briefly at the conference.The organisers are now thinking that a quarterly event in Silicon Valley will be held going forward, though they are also considering possible job fairs on the East Coast, or perhaps Europe.Coinality now has more than 280 jobs on its site, many of them technical. But there is a lot of growth in other types of postions as well, according to Roseman:“When I started Coinality, it was almost entirely technical people. [Companies] looking for block chain experience. Now I’m starting to see marketing and sales coming in, and I see legal and regulation experts are needed.”“That’s like the last piece of the puzzle, I think. Once you’ve got developers and legal and then admin, now you’ve got the full spectrum of services that a company employs,” he added.Resume image via ShutterstockBitcoin Job Fairjobsmarketingplug and playUSAOriginal author: Daniel Cawrey
