What to Do When You Don’t Meet All the Requirements
Jan 26, 2026
What if you could land the role before you’ve ever held the title? In this episode, we walk through the exact pivot strategy that helped a job seeker go from overlooked to offer in hand with just one interview. You’ll hear how “acting as if” changed everything in her job search, and how she rewired her confidence and story to land an HRBP role without traditional experience.
We break down:
Why “tailoring your resume to every job” keeps you stuck (and what to do instead)
How to translate non-traditional experience into language that lands
A mindset exercise that shifts your energy before the interview
Why acting as if you already have the job gets better results than “hoping you’re enough”
How to respond to gaps, pivot questions, and experience you don’t have with clarity and confidence
