You see those job postings, when you’re like “I’m almost there, but not quite”…there enough to apply? I do, but I’m always too scared to apply. How do you muster up the courage to apply for a job you are just shy of being qualified for? Like you know if given the opportunity, you can fulfill all responsibilities within that role…

I just applied recently to a job as a chiropractor’s assistant. Do I have experience? No absolutely not. But what I do have is customer service, multitasking, I did however take a CNA class in high school. But i don’t know how to schedule patients, or anything. I am a quick learner. In my opinion, anybody can be trained to do dang near anything. So, so far I’ve had 2 interviews and a working interview tomorrow for the chiropractor’s assistant job. I’m scared to death honestly, I want to succeed so badly because my current job I’ve worked for almost 10 years, I’m burnt out and I need something new. I think sometimes you just need to be like okay, the worst they can say is no. But sometimes a job or employer will take a chance, and hire to train you. Applying is the easy part, it’s getting a yes that’s the hard part. Just have a little faith in yourself and try until you succeed.

I needed this! I have to be confident that the skills I do have will help me be successful in this new position, even if it’s very different from what I’m doing now. Even if I don’t have the exact skills they’re looking for, I will always remain receptive to training and learning. Best of luck, I hope you get the position!

Always just apply! If you think it might work! Apply!

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
