Nobody feels qualified before they start. That's not the problem. Waiting is.
This shows up everywhere in fashion, beauty and retail careers: the role that looks like a stretch, the promotion conversation that keeps getting postponed, the brief that feels slightly bigger than current experience. One often-cited internal study found men tend to apply for a role once they meet around half to sixty percent of the listed requirements, while women typically wait until they meet closer to ninety percent.
