Thanks a lot for reading and sharing your story Rowan! Love this story through volunteering, which led to a paid role, which in turn led to another paid role! I think that it’s a really valuable takeaway, that we don’t need a whole lot of opportunities, we just need one high quality opportunity, and then build from that. I also appreciate the point familiarity/trust vs experience/education. I think that people often believe that they have to be better than all the candidates, and there is some truth to it, but often it’s about standing out, building trust and credibility over the long run.
