I came to the conclussion that this is unironically what you have to do when you need a job and you don't have 20 years of previous experience on it.
No one should expect you to be the perfect fit for a job. They expect you to be the most reliable and wanting your interest to allign with the job.
So, your options are be paid less, or be more reliable, or be trainable, or have the perfect skills.
I'd personally recommend liberal use of chatgpt for your resume and cover letter
Why would you waste a good sock though?
Hi! Post titles must begin with “ULPT” or “ULPT Request”, and should be descriptive.
but what is the line though ?
for example I'm trying to get a job in the software industury, when should I try to "fake it" ?
Ironically I know someone who did. they just learned sql on the fly. But definitely there is a line. If I saw my job posted online I would say I am not qualified for it.
