Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s say there is an opening at a company and two people are being considered.<\/p>\n
The first is a woman. She has very little of the skills and experience they are asking for, but she has a university degree like the ad asked for, but not in the field\u00c2\u00a0requested. She is raising two small girls with her husband. She is recently graduated with a college diploma in an area related to the position, but\u00c2\u00a0previously\u00c2\u00a0spent 20 years as a teacher. This will be her first full-time job since graduating from the college a year ago (she has been doing\u00c2\u00a0freelance\u00c2\u00a0until now).<\/p>\n
The second is a man. His skillset and experience are\u00c2\u00a0broad\u00c2\u00a0enough for the position qualifications, but maybe not deep enough. He has no university degree. He is raising four children with his wife. His has been working with the company in another department for over nearly 10 years, and does part of the duties the new position would be taking over. He is about 10 years younger than the first candidate, and he asked for $10,000 more per year in salary expectations (but it is the same amount the company pays him now).<\/p>\n
You are God, and both candidates are praying to you, asking that they get the job.<\/p>\n
