 Who you might be (desirable, but not essential)

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don't necessarily meet every single point above, that’s okay, we would still love to review your application!
