A few additional Notes

Although we do our best to list everything we are looking for in a candidate, we are very likely missing skills and/or attributes that could make you a great fit for the role. Research has shown that women and other marginalized groups are less likely to apply if they don t clearly meet every requirement. This means we both might miss out on a great opportunity - it never hurts to take a chance and apply today.
