Just applied for my dream job that I’m definitely not qualified for but as Hilary Duff once said, “don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”.

Just look at our pres - whether you agree with him or not, it shows that you don’t have to be qualified to get the job you want 😂😭

You got this!

Always apply to jobs you think your under qualified for... you’d be surprised at what you can offer

Hi Op. Can you please elaborate? What makes you think you are under qualified? Asking because I am in the same boat and I've constantly have been focused on the negatives rather than the positives :(

It doesn’t hurt to put yourself out there which is why I decided to go for it. I say give it a try!

What type job is it OP? You are so likely to be more qualified than you think!

Hi All,

Just saw this upload documents option which was not there before. The consultancy through which I'm applying informed me that my HR round will be conducted tomorrow.

And I'm confused, is this the initial round or salary discussion round. I've already cleared my versant test but didn't receive any official email.
Pls help!!

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean
