I can’t even count the number of times I’ve scrolled past a job on Indeed that I “knew” I could never get; either they required a degree (which I do not have), paid significantly more than what I was making, were for a ‘prestigious’ company, or some other reason that made me feel ‘not good enough’.
I’ve always struggled with self confidence, so maybe this isn’t a universal experience, but I also know I can’t be the only one out there that doesn’t even try because they automatically assume they won’t succeed.
I’m a high school drop out. Never went to college. I’ve pretty much always felt like a failure and screw up. Within the past 3-4 years, I’ve landed some decent jobs, but nothing fulfilling and nothing that paid very well. My confidence improved during this time, but I’ve always “known my place”.
About a month ago, I came across a job listing that I normally would have scrolled right past - I was qualified experience-wise, but this particular position required a degree and was for a very sought-after company. I decided to apply for the heck of it. I’m not hyperbolizing when I say I never in my wildest dreams imagined I’d get anywhere close to an offer.
And today, I got that offer, at double the salary I’m currently making. I still can’t even believe it’s real honestly.
I just wanted to share my story (and maybe brag a little! I’m still so excited!) because I know there have to be other people out there that are their own worst enemy. (You may also be like me and not even recognize it as self-doubt - I always thought I was just “being realistic.”)
Moral of the story: if you want the job, APPLY. You literally never know what might happen. There is literally no harm. Believe in yourself and do it!
