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.
The surest route to working at a company you want to work for is bypassing the initial screening entirely.
To do that you have to forge relationships with people at the company. It takes a lot of work & there's no guarantee of success, but it's the highest probability path (assuming you're a good match for the kinds of people/skill sets the company wants).
Start with searches on LinkedIn to find a network link to follow. You may have to traverse several connections to get there.
