The Qualification Trap: Why You're Already Ready for That Job You're Not Applying For

In this episode, I'm calling out the biggest career sabotage move you're probably making right now - waiting until you're "qualified enough" to apply for jobs you actually want.Men apply when they meet 60% of job requirements, while women wait until they hit 100%. And guess what? Both groups get hired at the same rate.If you've ever talked yourself out of applying because you didn't have exactly 10 years of experience (when you had 7), or convinced yourself that job descriptions are non-negotiable checklists - this episode will change everything.I'm sharing why most job postings are wish lists cobbled together from Google searches, the real reason hiring managers don't want someone who checks every box, and how planning a wedding actually counts as project management experience.From a former hiring manager's perspective: your "messy, imperfect, uniquely yours" experience is exactly what makes you hireable. Ready to stop letting perfect be the enemy of good enough? I'm giving you a two-week challenge that will push you out of your comfort zone and into that role you've been dreaming about.Let's go get what you deserve.
