I've been applying for jobs for some... years? now.

I rarely apply to any position where I don't meet the mininum requeriments.

Also I've seen vacancies with huge lists of requeriments, including exotic ones (like being an RPG player) and I meet them all, sent a resume, and didn't got invited to the interview...

So I guess that indeed, the requeriments are bullshit.

Your odds of getting an interview don't significantly improve after you meet just 50% of the requirements (40% if you're female): https://talent.works/2018/11/27/the-science-of-the-job-searc...
