| Dec 1, 2021 at 10:50 | comment | added | ScottishTapWater | Yeah, I'm a hiring manager where I work and 90% of the battle is someone proving that what they want aligns with what we need. Whether that comes from them persuading us that what they want is what we want or what we actually want is what they can provide is irrelevant. Skills come second, they can always be taught as long as the motivations are there. | |

I assumed it was because my previous achievements, plus letters of recommendation, were somewhat an objective measure of qualification, and it was up to the recruiter, not to me, to judge whether that qualification was sufficient. | |
