Has anyone here ever felt like they always had to prove their worth at work while others were simply given a chance?

Prove yourself to get a chance

I guess in terms of trying to land a new project or work, it seems like some don’t really have to prove anything in an interview. They just have to breathe and they’ll get the job. Whereas others are constantly put to the test.

We’re all given a chance to prove ourselves, otherwise we would be unemployed
