About this episode
Many of us have been there - staring at a job description for a position we are desperate to apply for, but feeling intimidated by the extensive list of qualifications and requirements. We might feel that we don't measure up, and so practice self-elimination by not applying. However, the truth is that job descriptions are often crafted as wish lists – and you should still apply even if you don't tick all the boxes! In this episode, we talk about: - Why you don't have to be the perfect job candidate: job descriptions are just wishlists - Why do you only need to match around 50% of the job listing to be considered 'qualified' - How you can convince an employer or hiring manager that you can provide value even without a degree or relevant experience - Why more and more companies are no longer caring that you don't have a degree Ryan and Hannah also talked about the right mindset when you're job hunting.
