Do get your resume together..but your resume should always be together. Always assume tomorrow might be your last day on your job (documentation, resume, networking, etc.), and you will be in a much better position. I have been working as an consultant in my current domain since 2001 (for various reasons, risk of going full-time on a startup hasn't been something I could do), and have never been out of work, in a very volatile area. That said, you get what you give. DO NOT watch videos on their dime, unless your manager tells you that you can take courses and study some as part of your professional development, which they should unless in a crunch (no professional development is a major red flag). DO go to work every day as if you were a footballer stepping onto the field in the Final. Even if the startup fails, the people you meet will go on to other jobs. Stay in touch with them, because networking is key...for people networking well the resume is simply a formality. The people you've worked with know your skills, and in some ways more importantly know they can work well with you.
