Women are less likely than men to apply to a job when they don’t meet all of the requirements. This can be a real barrier to women in going for promotions, switching sectors, and pursuing new roles.
During a recent Devex webinar on how to transition to a STEM role in global development, Natasha Beale, assistant director of the evaluation and learning unit at The Asia Foundation, and Mihan Borhani, product owner at Devex, spoke about their experience on moving from international relations to tech-focused roles within the development sector.
Beale and Borhani share their top advice for women and those looking to transition their career and apply for a role where they don’t meet 100% of the job description.
