Wow, these comments are an awesome miscellany of genius tips and advices. 😍
But on a more personal note, I totally feel you. Not long ago I was on the same boat, and was kind of freaking out!! But let me tell you, that, once you stop driving yourself crazy about all the requirements mentioned in job postings (like most of the comments already suggested), applying gets much easier. I just dared to apply to any company where I felt I'd fit in well (regarding the company culture, team, listed tasks ...) - and where I met at least 60% of the requirement! The more I applied, and the more positive feedback I got, the more confident I was - and yeah, even the ones where I did not meet all the requirements but could show my passion gave me positive feedback - and job offers. 😊 That was a huge step forward for me. 😅
Sooooo to sum up, I just wanna let you know, that all that have been said really turns out to be true. Just hang on, and don't driving yourself too crazy.
