As my hockey coach would say, you miss 100% of shots you don't take. The market right now is very tight, and hiring managers should know to hire on potential.

As my hockey coach would say, you miss 100% of shots you don't take. The market right now is very tight, and hiring managers should know to hire on potential. Make sure you research the software ahead of time and try to analogize with something you've done before: "it seems like it's X that I've worked with before." I've found that works in cases like this. Go for it. At the very least, if you get in the door, it's interview practice.

- HillaryBriss 10y agowhat they don't say: your teammates will stop passing to you if you miss 99.98% of the time.
- emodendroket 10y agoI'll bet a whole bunch of people repeated that one without attribution, especially if they were stinking hockey coaches.
- 1001101 9y agoOur coaches were pretty solid - this was a prep program coached by former NHL players/coaches that has turned out 68 draft picks in the last 20 years, incl 2 first overall - players for whom the maxim may apply :). Context was a discussion of save pct as a function of hole 1-5. 5 hole was the best, not taking a shot was worst. Yes, there are certainly nuances to this, but, taking the simplified case, I think the metaphor fits.
