In case you’re currently looking for a job, a reminder:
Those “requirements” that companies put in their postings - those are just a wishlist.
If the job looks like it fits you, and you meet maybe 50% of the requirements, go for it.
“You should hire me, because… “ - if you can complete this sentence, the role is worth applying for.
@slothrop And if trying to complete the sentence “You should hire me because…” triggers imposter syndrome (“why should they hire *me* rather than someone else, when there’s so much I *don’t* know?”) — then try completing the sentence “I can help you with…”
(Once you’ve completed the second prompt, just stick the first prompt in front! Oh look, now you know why they should hire you.)
