It is easy to get discouraged when looking at the list of requirements on a job posting. Previous experience, marketing skills, tech skills, sales skills, nunchuck skills, the list goes on and on.

How do you press forward and convince a company that you are the right fit for a job, even if you don’t have all the skills and experience they’ve listed?

Joel has the answer in this week's episode about investing in a growth mindset.

In this episode:

• If you make a growth mindset your number one soft skill, there is no limit to what you can accomplish
  
• When you’re looking at job postings, don’t dismiss your chances if you don’t perfectly fit the description
  
• Companies want to hire people that can do the job, but also can grow and provide long term return on investment
  
• Why motivation matters a lot more than experience when it comes to getting opportunities early in your career
  
• Building confidence over time by taking on your own projects
  
• As you develop your ability to learn, you become more and more confident in your ability to communicate your abilities to others
