Are you hesitating to apply for a job because you don't meet all the qualifications? 

This episode focuses on a strategic approach to finding a job in a competitive market and why you might need to only meet 50% of the qualifications.   

We will discuss:  

• Transferable skills and how they... transfer 
• How to prioritize networking over “blanket” applications 
• Ways to tailor your resume to each job application, and get past the screeners
