In our 4th episode, Jim Gould and Lauren Celano busted a few myths including: do you have to be 100% qualified to apply for a role? Do you have to have an official certificate, degree, or publication for you to claim to have a certain experience or skill? Can you apply to multiple jobs in the same company? Are there actually ghost postings where a job is advertised but not real? Thank you for listening!
