The job I am currently am in was an internal job change and a natural progression from my prior role. Therefore, I did not give much consideration to the job description as I knew my skills were applicable. The one concern I did have was around the number of years of experience as I know I was lacking in that area (I only had about 1 year of relevant work experience) and I believe they were looking for 3-5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My job role prior to my current role was the job that got me hired at Nike. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I had worked in food service roles but didn’t have relevant work experience for a real-world ‘Finance’ job, which is what I got my degree in. Therefore, I took that into consideration when applying for roles. I looked for very entry-level finance jobs at all different companies. I also took into consideration that working for Nike was a life long dream\/goal of mine. This led me to give it a shot and apply for any finance role that I kind-of met the qualifications for Nike’s job site. What I mean by this is that I didn’t meet every qualification listed, but I felt I could provide applicable examples if given the opportunity. This led me to getting an interview and eventually getting hired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although my experiences have been more of a “shoot your shot” methodology, it has worked for me up to this point. When applying for job roles, I tend to focus more on how that role fits into my long term career goals and less on the years of experience. As my career advances and I look for roles to apply for, I do look to see how my work experience relates to the experience and qualifications they’re looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
