The Hiring Gap: Courage Vs. Compliance

Employers advertise for obedience.

Even though they really want courage 🧍‍♂️

“No emails, please.”

“Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”

“Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.”

“We’re looking for a rockstar-ninja-unicorn…” 🦄

“We received an overwhelming number of applications…”

Translation?

Stay in your lane. Wait your turn. Ask for permission 🙄

More accurate: they don’t need another rule follower.

They need someone bold enough to break the script 💥

So break it.

Here’s how:

Follow up even if they tell you not to 📧

Circumvent the recruiter if the portal is a black hole 🕳️

Apply even if you’re not “qualified” 🎯

Send that second message.

Send that third one too 💬

Be willing to offend in the name of service ⚔️

Have the courage they pretend to want 🫡

Give them the boldness they didn’t know how to ask for 💡

Don’t be the applicant they want.

Be the one they need 🚀
