Unsure about your qualifications?

You should apply anyway!

LinkedIn examined their users' job search behavior and found that women are less likely to apply for a job that they aren't fully qualified for, while men will apply if they meet only some of the desired qualities.

Whether you fit into these two categories, or somewhere else on the spectrum, take a chance on that application. You may just be the perfect fit!
