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 my partner does stats on this and it turns out that broadly speaking men go for jobs if they meet 30% of the "must haves" but women don't apply unless they meet something like 85%.

I might have the numbers wrong but they're about that ballpark.
