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.

True.
I once didn’t apply for a job because it said “Extensive experience in X.” I was new to the workplace so didn’t apply. They couldn’t find someone ‘suitable’ I was asked why I didn’t apply. I told them the reason. I then applied and got the job.
Would have saved us all a lot of time and money if they asked for skills rather than experience.
