Apologies for the delay in catching this but Marcia left a very insightful comment to the very first welcome post on the blog that I'm reposting here, hoping it generates further discussion/reflection both on the blog and in class!

Experience. This is always something that comes up when hiring. Do they have it? Nope? BYE. I understand in most situations, this makes total sense. However, consider the situation that you are trying to make a pivot. You do not have the exact experience listed for the role, but you know that you have the skills and aptitude to walk in and do the job exceptionally well. However most of the time, the role goes to someone with previous experience at XXX instead of you. How does one "get the experience" to get those roles when it sometimes feels impossible to actually a chance to get the experience? Thoughts?
