The job market doesn’t need more “perfect” candidates. It needs you.

I know what it’s like to feel invisible.
→ To send out application after application
…and hear nothing.
→ To sit in an interview, scanning their face,?
Do I even have a shot?
→ To feel like no matter how hard you try,
you’re just?not what they’re looking for.
That’s exactly how I felt when I landed an interview with one of the top gaming companies in the world.
I should have been excited.
But instead, my brain went into full panic mode:
→?You don’t fit their culture.
→?You don’t have enough experience.
→?You’re an immigrant woman in an industry that doesn’t look like you.
I almost didn’t show up.
But then, my soon-to-be boss said something that stopped me cold:
“The reason we want to hire you is exactly what you’re trying to hide.”
I just sat there. Stunned!!!
He told me the team had only one woman. Plus, everyone else? American.
They didn't need someone who blended in.
They needed someone who stood out.
Someone with
→ A different perspective.
→ Fresh way of thinking.
→ And new ideas.
The very things I thought were holding me back… were exactly why they wanted me.
You’re Not the Problem
For years, I thought I had to?prove?my worth. Turns out, my worth was never the issue.
If you’ve been job hunting—feeling stuck, unheard, overlooked— it’s not because you’re not good enough.
You might just be trying to fit into a mold
that was never meant for you.
Because the truth?
The best opportunities don’t want someone who looks, thinks, and sounds like everyone else.
They want?someone like you.
Your Next Move
If you’ve been holding back, afraid you’re not what they want…
Stop trying to be the “perfect” candidate.
Start being the?right?candidate.
Because the thing you’re hiding?
Might be the very thing that sets you apart.
