I am having such a problem with this right now. Everyone says, "apply for this, who cares if you don't fit the qualifications?" And I'm like, "they probably care." I just have a hard time believing some company is going to look at my resume when I don't fit the criteria and then hire me. I am going way out of my safety zone on that right now, but I'm still not convinced.

yeah but what if you're wrong? it's not like it would hurt to apply anyways

Like I said, everyone basically says that. But it's not that easy in terms of having the mental fortitude.

I don't know how to explain it. I have to be in that place psychologically?
