Women earn less than men in most industries and this because some women ask and opt for flexy hours or part-time jobs, while men generally gravitate towards the opposite and this is because of their family expectations, and again this ends up with more men in top executive positions than women and thus affecting the gender pay scale.
Many people waste their efforts and energy on positions they are not qualified for and due to ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems), most of these efforts go unnoticed. So, don’t waste your time applying for jobs you are over or underqualified for, it’s just a waste of your valuable time.
Gone are the olden days where writing a CV was a copy and paste of your roles and responsibilities, employers want to know your value proposition, how will you help and improve them, they would like to see the results of what you have previously achieved, they don’t want to be stuck with the wrong person for the job.
