Are you "under qualified" for remote jobs? 4 ways to know if you should apply for a digital nomad job | Ep 87

Digital Nomad Experts - Beach Commute

Do you ever look at a job listing and think "I'm not 100% qualified to apply for this job, so I'm just going to pass?"

After analyzing the results of our community survey, it turns out that this type thought process is EXTREMELY common. Unless folks feel like they fully satisfy every one of the job listing's "desired qualifications", they won't even apply.

But here is the secret directly from Jeff and Diego who have created job listings, and hired dozens of people: We fully know that the person with these ideal qualifications don’t exist.

When we create a job listing, we are creating the ideal employee (like a build-a-bear) fully knowing that this “ideal” candidate doesn’t exist.

We’re just looking for someone who has SOME of thee skills.

Listen in to learn exactly when it’s appropriate to apply for a job.

We will tell you:

• How much experience you need versus what’s listed in the job listing
• Which types of skills you can learn (and still apply for the job) versus which skills you absolutely need before applying.
• What soft skills employers are looking for and how to know if you have them.
• Intangible personality traits that will help you get the job even if you’re not fully qualified for a job.
• Understanding culture fit and how important it is to employers' decision making when hiring.
