Ladies, I’m specifically calling you. We tend to read all job postings as mandatory requirements. They are wish lists, not requirements. Even when they say “requirements”. https://t.co/362iTaYs0s

Worth reiterating. I don’t have a college degree and don’t lie about it on my resume, yet have had no problem getting many jobs where a college degree was a “requirement” and “mandatory.” True of many other areas, too.
