Jacob Wells: I feel like I’m qualified for a job post but they keep pushing back on my lack of social background, so how do I respond and reposition myself to show my real value?

• Acknowledge their feedback and move on instead of proving yourself harder, because pushing back keeps you stuck while shifting approach opens a new conversation.
• Study their social deeply and identify gaps in engagement, conversion, or narrative so you can speak directly to problems they actually care about solving.
• Lead with service-based mindset and curiosity by offering thoughtful insights, not criticism, so your feedback feels helpful rather than threatening or dismissive.
