Should I apply if I don’t meet every requirement? ⬇️
You don’t need to tick every box to be a strong candidate. Job requirements are often an employer’s ideal wishlist, not a strict checklist.
If you meet the key requirements, apply. A recruiter can help identify what’s truly essential vs. what’s preferred, position your experience beyond what’s written on your CV, and highlight the value you can bring. ✨
Don’t reject yourself before you’ve even applied. 👏
