"little embarrassed applying to places with a startup no one has heard of that failed"
Don't do this. You worked at a startup which went under and this is expected based on stats (95% of startups fail etc). Be proud of what you learned over 4 years there. The brand or name doesn't matter. If you solved real problems and 4 years is a decent amount of time, any startup would appreciate it.
- QuarterReptile 4y agoMore than being proud of what you've learned: take the time to understand, catalog, and present what you've learned. If you're hoping to interview well, you should be an expert in explaining what you bring to the table. Giving that information as a concise explanation requires premeditation. Interview questions make for a great synthesis exercise in considering your recent achievements, and doubly so if you're interviewing soon.
