This may sound like blasphemy coming from a Red Sox fan, but last night I was tempted to root for the Rockies. Almost, but not quite. There's just something about an underdog that causes me to cheer. Especially when they rally in the last few innings...
I think the same is true in the career arena. Recruiters want the applicants to succeed who show initiative, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude -- even if they aren't the strongest or most experienced candidates for the job. So think about the "soft skills" you bring to the position and "sell" yourself to the employer. It might not get you a spot on the Red Sox roster, but it could just land you the job!
