Don’t aim for anything with too much responsibility or ownership. Consulting experience teaches tactics not how to do something at same level of success as someone who has done this for years . You won’t be happy.

Also, don’t get caught up in the oo I have experience so I deserve this. You don’t , you will get work you work hard for

I feel like I have absolutely no skills and I am finding it extremely hard to get interviews

I applied to a role at a company and was asked to interview in the next 1-2 weeks. I just saw another role come up with the same company that I’m way more interested in and I also qualify for. How do I explain this to the recruiter, and is there anything I can ask them to do that won’t make me look bad? The interview date has not been set.
