The first thing I want to say: This sort of thinking is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don't believe in yourself, you won't go anywhere. For every skilled person who doesn't believe in themselves, there's a less-skilled person who does. And if you won't apply, they will. 2/

Next is recognizing that life is a journey, and limiting your opportunities will stunt your growth. So what if you don't get the job? Maybe instead you learn a valuable lesson, or get feedback on your resume. There's more to gain from a job application than the job itself. 3/

Even if you get zero responses, the action of looking back at your experience and building a resume/portfolio can be healthy. Use it to reflect on (and appreciate!) how much you've grown, to better determine what muscles you need to build next. 4/

If you do get a response, or even an interview, that's great! Now you have the opportunity to speak with recruiters and hiring managers and start building a network. But even if you bomb that interview, it can still become a great learning opportunity for the next one. 5/

The reason I'm saying this is because I've seen SO MANY people count themselves out before they even get started. I had zero industry experience when I started at Bungie. YES, I was very lucky, but no amount of luck would have gotten me the job if I had never applied. 6/

Luck is the intersection between preparation & opportunity. If you're prepared but have no opportunity, that's unlucky. If you have an opportunity but you're not prepared, that's unlucky. So get prepared and start looking for opportunities. Never close the door on yourself. 7/

So again, I'm hugely blessed and excited to be at Bungie - now more than ever. Working here has genuinely changed my life, and has opened more doors for me than I could ever express. But I never would have gotten here if I didn't believe in myself and take that first step. 8/
