Are you confusing honest with humble? I had an intern who had a little trouble finding a gig after he graduated college because he kept downplaying his experience. Once he put his cards on the table, he got picked up quickly.
And I wouldn't measure your experience against others. You don't always know what they know. Maybe they do have more direct experience than you. Or maybe they get, but don't keep, those jobs.
You could always ask others you know to give you feedback on your CV. Especially people who've worked with you. Ask coworkers maybe. Or former supervisors.
- nekojima 15y agoI am also humble, despite, or perhaps because of, earning (the equivalent) of 'employee of the year' award at one of the largest companies in our country. I do know how much some of my classmates know because I've helped them do their work in their new jobs. After helping one of them for free for a weekend and finding it frustrating, I then had a well-paying (almost full-time) job for almost a year while I helped four of them do their "work" and teach them along the way, as they paid me to help them. Six months after I stopped helping them, as I had found a "real" job that paid better, all four had to find new jobs because of recent under-performance.
