But since job or task are known repeatable, transferable, and teachable that requires specific time elapsed to acquire the knowledge, techniques, and skills to become certified, licensed, qualified, and competent. Therefore, my disqualification or incompetency will only last from hours, days, months, or years. Then I will become qualified and competent. So, I should apply for a job even if I don’t meet all the requirements.
If the job or task is not yet known as repeatable, transferable, and teachable. Therefore, all job candidates started with zero baseline for comparison. The hiring manager probably will base his/her hiring decision to known specified outcomes that the company expected to see as their measurement of success. The selected job candidate most likely has many foundational skills such as problem solving, communication, collaboration, persistence, and domain knowledge that will maximize the likelihood of delivering the specified outcome.
