My C and C++ skills greatly improved as I got better with rust. The compiler forces you to learn proper memory management and that carries over. Smart pointers? Just Box, Rc, Arc and Refcel. Move semantics? It's just another name for ownership. Sure, the OOP stuff are different, but okay, that in and of itself shouldn't hinder you.

If it's an experienced C++ job and you don't know the difference between rvalue/lvalue/etc, you're gonna have a tough time.
