Why Women Dont Apply for Jobs Unless Theyre 100% Qualified You’ve probably heard the following statistic: Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100% of them.
The finding comes from a Hewlett Packard internal report, and has been quoted in Lean In, The Confidence Code and dozens of articles. It’s usually invoked as evidence that women need more confidence. As one Forbes article put it, “Men are confident about their ability at 60%, but women don’t feel confident until they’ve checked off each item on the list.” The advice: women need to have more faith in themselves.

WorkSaturday Conversation: Corey Taylor On New Music, Alice In Chains  Taylor: That\'s a good question. I don\'t know if this is a good or a bad thing, but it\'s definitely refreshing to see that my point of view on certain stuff emotionally hadn\'t changed a lot [laughter]. I\'m pushing 50, but at the same time, maybe it\'s my understanding that was always ahead of its time. Instead of me feeling like I\'m a little more stunted than most people. I\'m not sure, I\'m not, I haven\'t really figured that part out. But the way I look at darkness in general has always had a kind of a matter of fact feeling to it. And I don\'t know if that\'s because of the trauma that I dealt with when I was younger. I don\'t know if it\'s because of the places that I\'ve allowed myself to go to because of my various addictions over the years, or just the s**t that\'s going to happen to me. I just have a very nonchalant way of picking apart real forms of darkness and making it make sense. Even as far back as a song like \"Midnight,\" which I changed very little. Musically, we just took it to the next level. But those lyrics stayed the same. So, the fact that I can relate to something that I wrote 20 years ago and have it be as poignant to me today as it was then, maybe that just means that I have made peace with it in a weird way. I\'ve made peace with the s**t that has f**ked with me my whole life. But then at the same time, I\'ve also drawn a line in the proverbial sand where I\'m just like, \"I\'m not going to pass this on. I need to keep this in and talk about it and help people make sense of certain s**t in their lives and make sure that it doesn\'t come near my kids.\" And as a father, you have to do that. You have to look at the things that happened to you and go, \"Okay, how do I make sure that this s**t doesn\'t manifest and how do I guarantee that their life doesn\'t end up the way mine was?\" Work

Klyushin, who has ties to the Kremlin, was sentenced on 7 September to nine years in prison after being found guilty in February of trading shares using hacked secret earnings information about multiple companies. WorkWorkSunak and Johnson Covid-19 inquiry appearances delayed 'to avoid party conference season'  The scheme, which offered financial incentives for people to go out to restaurants again, cost £850m and was subsequently linked to a jump in Covid cases that autumn. No epidemiologist was officially consulted on the scheme beforehand. Last summer, Prof John Edmunds of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who was a member of the Sage committee of advisers to ministers, told the Observer that the scheme had been a "spectacularly stupid idea and an obscene way to spend public money".
