Why Women Should Stop Waiting to Be 100% Qualified for Jobs

Women apply for the job when they are 100% qualified for the role.

Men apply when they are 60%.

According to an HBR study, the top reason women cite is they don’t think they’ll get the job if they don’t check off all the boxes, so why waste everyone’s time?

This has long-lasting impact on their confidence, career, and compensation.

Because it keeps them stuck in their job search longer than they need to.

Stop waiting to be a perfect match before putting your name in the hat.

Every day, people are getting hired even though they are not a perfect match.

Remember that if you match 100% of the requirements, you are already overqualified for the job.
