I wanted to share an article I was recently interviewed for, titled "The Confidence Gap: Overqualified Job Applications". The article highlights an issue that I believe is prevalent among many women in the job market: the confidence gap.
The article addresses the issue of women applying for roles they’re overqualified for due to a lack of confidence to apply for roles they are actually deserving of. As a result, they miss out on opportunities that could advance their careers.
In the article, I provided some tips on how to overcome the confidence gap, including recognizing and challenging imposter syndrome, building a support network, and preparing thoroughly. My hope is that these tips will empower you to apply for the positions you deserve.
I know that you have what it takes to excel in your career, and I'm always here to support you in any way I can.
Remember, you are fully qualified and deserving of the positions you apply for.?
Check out the full article below and let me know your thoughts. The comments section is buzzing via this LinkedIn Post.
Talk soon,
