why community matters w/ staff comm mgr at vercel, pauline narvas
guest: pauline narvas, staff community manager at vercel
- treat community as its own discipline that touches growth, product, and engineering, not just marketing
- build community before you get the job by volunteering, teaching, or running your own online groups
- use a personal blog or portfolio site to document talks, posts, and projects so people can see your work over time
- put yourself out there in dms, comments, and events the same way you would advocate for a community, because no one else will do it for you
- stop hiding your authentic self at work, since showing up as you are opens doors instead of closing them
