Don’t undervalue yourself when deciding whether or not to apply for a new job. It’s up to the person doing the hiring to determine if you are what they’re looking for, and the only way to guarantee that you won’t get the job is if you don’t apply for it.
The job posting is the employer’s wish list, it’s not a checklist.
Very true for "basic" life lessons, things that don't change very much over time. It's not a generation thing, just a matter of people having lived long enough to gain a lot of experience in various topics.
BUT an absolute disaster, when it comes to things that change over time. The faster and more fundamental things change, the worse would be any advice from people getting their experience before the changed.
So, basically: Learn to differ what topics you can get really helpful advice from older people, and what things you'd better not ask them.
