I Was Unqualified and Clueless, and Got Hired Anyway
Briefly

Hiring practices traditionally focus on experience, but exploring candidates from different industries may unlock hidden potential. Candidates with a diverse background can infuse fresh perspectives and creativity into teams. A willingness to learn and a positive attitude are key attributes that can outweigh lack of experience in specific tasks. Hiring on attitude rather than solely qualifications can lead to a more innovative and adaptable workforce, giving companies a competitive edge in their industries.
"We've all been told to hire based on experience—but what if that's exactly what's holding your team back? Ultimately, creativity in hiring can give you a competitive advantage."
"I had no business doing that job in the first place. I was not qualified to do the job, much less get hired. But what I did have was gumption and the willingness to learn."
