In general, the rule of thumb is you need around 80% of the requirements of a position to be considered competitive. However, it is always good to apply for any position you are interested in as your transferrable skills might make you stand out to an employer.
Whilst educational requirements and experience are important, your unique journey might be enough to get you an interview. You never know who else has applied. To stand out it is important to highlight your passion for the position and company and why you would be a great fit. Stay positive and focus on the requirements that you do meet.
It is important to manage your expectations when applying for a job that you don’t meet all the requirements for.
