One of the first things I learned in the field as a professional, even during college, was to basically ignore the listed requirements and apply anyway.

Is this not common knowledge?



It common knowledge for some people, that's why these positions still get filled. It's also been observed that for people who are less confident they belong in a position that they will self-exclude themselves from these jobs, which includes all the groups of people who are already underrepresented in the field.
