LinkedIn: Normalize taking actions despite the tiny doubts in your head. And normalize acting based on the information available. Yes, you can wait till you're fully confident about something on your #JobSearch. But in truth: Rarely are we certain about anything until it's happened. So, you may not know whether the company can pay your dream salary if you negotiate. Or the recruiter will get mad if you follow up. But if there's a potentially higher upside than the downsides, it is okay to risk actions. Eventually, you'll realize the bold steps you took put you a foot ahead of most others and increase your chances. What do you all think? Let's land you a job in 2024!

Be brave enough to suck at something new! You'll get better in due time. You can't expect perfection from day one. An experiment was done to prove this: A pottery class was split into two groups and they were to be graded on a single pot provided at the end of the year. One group were given one year to work on a single pot. The other group were told to make as many pots as possible during the year, every time trying something new. Guess who got the better results at the end!
Better to take action and fail quickly iteratively until you succeed.
A different perspective. Thanks for sharing this. Being a seasoned project manager..I usually do see red flags as the project tugs along. But yes they will be called out and worked on. This is part of the game and the show must go on.
Jonathan Javier💡taking action despite tiny doubts is crucial for growth! The more information gathered, the less uncertainty faced, leading to more informed decisions. However, uncertainty shouldn't be avoided because it adds an element of gamification. So, balance is crucial—taking bold steps while continuously learning often leads to significant rewards.
It's true, waiting for perfect confidence often means missed opportunities.
We often learn the most by experiencing challenging situations.
Trusting yourself is underrated, 99% fails at it Jonathan Javier💡
Sometimes you just have to jump in and deal with the consequences later. Seriously though, calculated risks can pay off big time.

1moGood point! It is difficult to know almost anything related to a new opportunity for sure, and taking that risk can be stressful, but it does not have to be. There are small steps that job seekers and non-job seekers alike can take to make everyday challenges seem less so challenging. For example, making a connection (in person or online) that will help boost you on your journey, whatever it may be, can set one apart from those who stay silent and scared.
