Rooting out Bad Apples is a "too Late Policy" The Age of New Policing.

Opinion: Stop Training Hate out of Bad Apples —Start Hiring Differently

We are living in perilous times, and it's time we stop pretending otherwise. The persistent narrative that police departments simply need more training and education to solve the issues of police brutality, racial discrimination, and hate within the force is both outdated and ineffective. It's not more training we need—it's smarter, more conscious hiring. The solution starts with who we allow to wear the badge.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “One bad apple can’t ruin the bunch.” But let’s be honest—it already has. One officer with hate in their heart can destroy years of community trust, taint the reputation of an entire department, and spark national outrage. We cannot afford to keep making excuses. Blaming isolated “bad apples” is a convenient way to avoid the deeper issue: poor vetting and a lack of accountability in hiring practices.

Police departments must adopt bold and honest strategies to root out prejudice before it enters the force. This means asking the tough questions and observing how candidates engage across racial and cultural lines. Here's one approach: require applicants to bring a close friend of a different race—preferably Black, Hispanic, or another minority—to a second interview. Interview the friend. Ask about the candidate's relationships, values, and worldview. This isn’t about optics; it’s about authenticity. If an applicant can’t demonstrate meaningful relationships across racial lines, how can they be expected to serve a diverse community?

This vetting process should apply to all candidates, regardless of their background. If someone has lived a life without connection to people outside their own race or culture, that’s not someone ready to serve in today’s America. Because while we can train people in tactics and procedures, we cannot train the heart. Hate, bias, and apathy toward marginalized communities aren’t habits—they’re character flaws. And no amount of classroom time can fix what’s already embedded deep within.

It’s also time to shift the culture within police departments themselves. Let’s do away with the obsession over arrest stats and quotas. Stop starting the week by celebrating how many people were booked. Instead, ask officers: How many doors did you knock on this week? How many neighbors did you introduce yourself to? Did you make a new friend—someone who doesn’t look like you?

Real public safety begins with real relationships.

We need more cookouts and community basketball games. More open dialogues and public forums. These aren't just nice-to-haves; they’re necessities for rebuilding trust. Law enforcement needs to go beyond the “get the bad guys” mentality and embrace the true spirit of “to serve and protect.” When service becomes the focus, justice becomes the outcome.

Let’s stop trying to train hate out of people who never should have been given a badge in the first place. Let’s hire with integrity, cultural intelligence, and the courage to admit that not everyone is fit to protect the public. Until we do, we’ll keep seeing headlines, heartbreaks, and a public that no longer believes in the people sworn to protect them.

It’s not about training harder. It’s about hiring better.

The ROI in Human Equity by John Sankitts Jr. 10/3/2024

The ROI of Investing in Employees: Why Human Equity Is Your Firm's Greatest Asset.

Let’s begin with a fact:

Every employee directly contributes to a Firm’s bottom line—if the right environment is cultivated. Yes, there’s a formal equation to calculate ROI per employee using a Firm’s net income, but for the non-HR crowd, a simplified view is this: If labor is half of your total operating costs, and your Firm is profitable, then your employee ROI could be 100%—meaning your team is returning double what they cost. However, this ROI can become diluted due to several factors:

• Industry-specific constraints
• Toxic company culture
• Poor leadership
• Lack of engagement or feedback loops
• And let’s not forget how misleading averages can be when you don't consider things like fluctuating sales or competitive market forces (hello, Porter's Five Forces).

Human Equity = Competitive Edge
In today’s digital and hyper-connected job market, Firms with a strong and engaged human equity pool have a sustainable competitive edge. On the flip side, Firms with:

• High turnover
• Poor employee retention
• Negative online reputations

...are struggling to stay competitive, meet production goals, and attract top talent. Why Great Talent Isn’t Coming (or Staying) Companies that fail to retain or attract high-performing employees often overlook key drivers of engagement: 🚫 Common Pain Points That Repel Talent:

• Lack of employee belonging or self-worth
• Poor engagement and communication
• No feedback loops (input/output)
• Siloed departments
• Toxic workplace environments
• Weak job design
• Inadequate compensation & benefits
• Poor onboarding/orientation
• Lack of mentorship and career progression
• No recognition or incentive systems
• Minimal HR support or ineffective policies
• Poor work-life balance
• No 30/60/90 day check-ins

If your Firm can't offer a competitive compensation package, you're already at a disadvantage in attracting top-tier candidates. 📈 How Investing in Employees Pays Off

• When employees feel:
• Heard 👂
• Seen 👁️
• Valued 💡

..they give more, stay longer, and contribute proactively to the Firm’s success.
A few small but impactful ways to show you care:

• 💪 Offer gym memberships
• 🧠 Fund professional development
• 🌱 Encourage side projects or volunteer time
• 🎓 Support education (tuition assistance, certifications)

🔍 Today’s Job Market: Employees Have the Leverage
Candidates are smarter and more research-savvy than ever. Before accepting an offer, they check:

• Company reviews (Glassdoor, Indeed, Comparably, Vault, etc.)
• Compensation reports
• Company culture and leadership reviews
• SEC filings (10-Ks) for financial health
• Online presence and employer branding
• Merger & acquisition strategies
• Letters to shareholders for strategic direction

This level of transparency is like having insider trading information—but for job seekers. 🧩 What Today’s Candidates Are Asking:

• Does this Firm value its people?
• Is there opportunity for growth?
• Will I be developed professionally?
• Is leadership ethical and transparent?
• Will I be compensated fairly?

If the answers are unclear, they're not applying. 🏗️ It All Starts With HR Strategy
Your HR department is not a cost center.
It is a revenue-generating, ROI-maximizing, people-powered engine. Companies that view HR as a strategic partner aligned with business goals see:

• Lower turnover
• Higher productivity
• Stronger employer branding
• Greater competitive advantage

📌 Conclusion: Employees = Your Most Valuable Asset
Treat your people like premium assets.
Investing in human equity is just as important as investing in real estate, technology, or stock portfolios. Ask yourself:

• How does our investment in employees increase retention?
• How does it attract stellar talent?
• How does it elevate our bottom line?

If your Firm can answer these clearly and take action—you're on the path to maximizing ROI through people. The future belongs to Firms that value human capital.

Small Things

Story and Written by Rev. John Sankitts Sr.

Edited by John Sankitts Jr.

My son, an outstanding and prolific wordsmith who exudes brilliance through his pen and possesses vivid expository skill, has encouraged and inspired me to release my written works—to immortalize them. This is a piece written with the hope that it may stir even the smallest spark of motivation in those who feel they have little, so they might rise and take action.

“For who hath despised the day of small things?”
(Zechariah 4:10)

In the work of God, the day of small things is not to be despised. God often chooses the weak to bring about mighty change. Though the beginnings may be small, He can make the latter end greatly increase.

A writer begins with just one word. That word becomes a sentence, and soon a book is born—one capable of influencing the world, shaping cultures, and transforming ideologies. Writing, for me, is the vehicle of persuasion and purpose, enabling the creation of this poetic reflection. I offer it for review, interpretation, and even critique. These thoughts have been stored and composed over time, waiting patiently for their moment. That moment is now.

We live in an atmosphere filled with envy, hate, doubt, and confusion. But hope—yes, even hope—can begin with something small: a word, an idea, a seed. The deliverance of hope can arrive in the form of small words, small actions, small sacrifices, and small beginnings. This humble work, though seemingly insignificant, is intended to serve as a paradigm—to encourage aspiring writers, dreamers, and influencers.

Your smallest contribution, no matter the form, can spark monumental movements, actions, and spiritual manifestations. The prophet Zechariah reminds us that we must not despise the day of small things. No matter how minuscule something may seem, if it serves a worthy cause, it holds value. No one should belittle what is small. History proves again and again that small things can become monumental, colossal, and profoundly impactful.

Often, it's not the grand gestures that change the world, but the smallest ones. It’s the flicker of hope that transforms into a force of change. Small beginnings captivate our attention and produce the very grandeur we stand in awe of—like the first raindrop that hits the dry, parched ground. Then come the storms, then the rivers, then the oceans—all born from a single drop.

Have you seen the seed? The seed of might? Do you possess the seed of hope? Or perhaps—you are the seed. The very seed that becomes a towering Sequoia tree—so vast, so majestic, that a vehicle could pass through its trunk. The mighty General Sherman, the largest known single-stem tree on Earth, stands as living testimony to the wonder of small beginnings.

This truth is more than amazing; it’s awe-inspiring. It reminds us that small things grow into significant wonders. Consider the Bible—an ancient text that began with one word and has stood the test of time. In Luke 17:6, Jesus says:

"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

Yes, powerful in words—and proven in reality. When we reflect on the subject of small things, we find that everything that multiplies or matures starts from a simple seed. Nature shows us time and again that great works emerge from humble beginnings.

Allow me now to become a Picasso of words, painting a vision:
A single raindrop can save a nation from drought.
A thought of love can become a movement.
A single sperm cell swims toward an egg—and nine months later, a life is born.
One drop of food coloring transforms an entire pitcher of water.
A spark of hope leads to the invention of the lightbulb.
One smooth stone in the hands of a shepherd boy took down a giant.

"And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment..."
(Matthew 9:20)

Whether or not you approach this text through the lens of faith, the message remains: the smallest action can yield miraculous results.

Picture the golden fields of corn, swaying in the wind, feeding millions. What started as a seed has grown into an abundant harvest. Everything—everything—begins small. And everything that grows is a reflection of the omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence of God. Who else but God can cause anything to reach its full potential?

So act. Have faith in your ideas, your voice, your effort. This is why the Bible tells us: “Never despise the day of small things.”

In conclusion, small things grow into big things. It may seem obvious, but it’s worth saying: little ideas birth great inventions. Little children become presidents. Tiny trees grow into towering wonders. Small beginnings evolve into lasting legacies.

So I submit this small offering of hope and encouragement—to all who are struggling to begin, to all who hesitate, to those who doubt the worth of their contribution. Listen to the whisper inside you. Nurture it. Believe in it. Because starting is the enemy of stagnation, and execution gives birth to destiny.

How we handle the small things in life—whether good or bad—shapes our future and positions us before great men and women. But only if we allow God, in His light, to guide us.

Plant your seed. Watch it grow.

You only live once—and life is full of tiny joys. If you are reading this, you are living proof that small things endure.

It is my heartfelt intention to share this truth with you: no matter how small the act, once you begin, it will grow.

“Jesus said that if you have faith as little as a mustard seed, you can move mountains.”
(Matthew 17:20)

The End

The Almighty Chat.

The Almighty chat. 

Written by John S. Jr. 

A sadden artist, late in his life sat at a bench in the garden and wallowed in his pity, that he never fulfilled his internal quest the purpose of living up to his dreams of becoming a great play-writer for the King.

Every play that he wrote was rejected by the King and the play that the King favored had no conclusion. This struck the artist like a cancer and without a conclusion to his play he has lost the will to continue and may be scorned and tossed to the lions. He looked up and ask “God why haven’t I made it yet it, why haven’t I created my future? should I give up?

A dove flew in and landed on his shoulder, the sadden man didn’t flinch and was pleased to have it on him. The bird whisper “I saith the Lord, your ambition is mighty as mine"

The man eyes widen, his frown flipped to a broad smile enlighten and induced to have received a response, and calmly said

“I don’t understand you are GOD.  I’m merely a mortal failed artist”

The dove once again whispered in his ear, “Your ambition is so immense, so powerful, so purposeful that it may take a life time to achieve them, simply… your time just has not come yet, that giving up is futile as I have not given up on you”

“But if ye believe, then others will believe  in you, and your mighty ambition will finally have met with your faith and the conclusion you seek will manifest and thus come to be”

The man suddenly came to life, like being born again, he straighter up his back, pulled out his shriveled-up writing paper and instruments and wrote on the park bench for 21 days till the man had a  new screenplay finally with a conclusion. The play was great, the King was pleased and the writer had gained quarters in the Castle as the Kings personal scribe and screen playwright.

This day,  the Artist sat on the very bench he spoke to GOD and said "Lord if you hear me again, thank you for the words of encouragement for I am content"

A dove flew down again, the man did not flinch, he was calm and induced and the dove whispered in his ear “go and tell them that are similar that  ambition is great and dreams are  purposeful but time is the only element you need to fulfill your dreams don’t waste it” the dove flew away and the Man smiled for he was pleased and content and wrote this very parable.

New Startup, Bad Boss, Bad Reviews,Closed Doors!

To all the men who will become a future CEO, or Startup Founder. There is more than improving Operation efficiency and maintaining Strategic positioning to keep you successful in the corporate world. Having good, talented human equity(employees) and a pristine online digital presence is just or even more crucial and imperative to a successful business endeavor or corporation. A robust pool of is essentially the backbone of any business and revenue (ROI) generator.

So, you think you're the best startup company ever. You think because you’re the Owner, Boss, or VP that you or your company are untouchable.

Then you hire your employees, and then you feel like you are on top of the world. Then you start to get relaxed, and then you show your true colors as a boss, thieving, conniving, manipulating and then perversion runs rampant.

Then your employees no longer have trust in you, then they hate you, despise working for you and your stupid startup company, then they lose respect for you, they rebel and the cancer starts to form and spread to all employees. Then you fire them, feeling you're the almighty. Feeling like they come a "dime a dozen". You treat them like cattle and tell them " if you don't like it you can leave".

Then your employees, who now knows all the weakness, all your trade secrets, all the internal office politics, all the affairs, all the perversion, all the drama, all the financials of your company your company business model, your INVENTIONS as well as knowing the Boss's less than desirable character flaws, now have the fuel they need to start a negative review writing campaign on sites like Glass Door, Vault, Indeed, Monster, LinkedIn, Google News, Hallway, and Career Leak.

It doesn’t stop there, then they make a complaint with the BBB, then the rants begin on Twitter, then it goes viral on their Facebook and then a global, vicious smearing campaign ensues. Then they ask all their friends to start a negative writing review campaign on your startup.

Then you the CEO find that you cannot get quality candidates to work for you, your turn over is high and staffing is cumbersome, time costly and slow, you want the bad reviews to go away, then these sites can charge you millions, or maybe it stays online forever.

Then you, the boss can’t get clients, can close deals, can't get investors, can't hire (huge problem), then you want to hire external recruiters to help you staff, but then the recruiter reads the bad publicity and bad reviews crawling all over the internet and cringes.

Then the recruiter doesn't want to send top talent to your firm because that candidate may leave before the 90 days forcing the recruiter to replace that candidate with another daunting prospecting candidate. Then top candidates’ research your company as they do their due diligence before leaving their current role and decide that it would be really stupid to leave their current company to go with another company that has a bad reputation, a bad culture and a lack of appreciation and respect towards their employees.

But wait there’s more!!!!  Then staffing firms refrain from doing business with your company because your company is labeled as a terrible, unethical place to work with poor culture. Then the bad reputation spreads from candidate to candidate like cancer, from recruiter to recruiter, from company to company, then your competitor joyfully jumps on board the character assassination of your fragile little startup. Smile, it get worst.

Now you have almost no employees left, so you hire your family. Then the Boss brings his wife in, his brother; daughter, sister, cousin, uncle, grandpa, grandma, great, great, great grandma, infusing a worse situation the remaining employees have to deal with like pathetic family office politics. Now what’s left of your employees, whom are now broken, have no faith or trust, depressed, oppressed, and starving, starts to look for a lifesaver, a window of hope they are now hoping they get paid.

     Then all of a sudden when they cash their checks and it bounces like a Lebron James dribble. Now you did it, you check your paper work to make sure your business license is up to date and its set up like an LLC, because you know the (bleep) is going to hit the fan and you really want to keep that BMW you bought with your first Angel Investors cash. Now your employees complain about thievery for not getting paid.

    Why?  cause now the Bosses wife is telling the Boss " We can't pay our home mortgage" " we invested our life savings in this startup, we owe investors, we are going to have to skim some of our employees’ wages off the top to keep living our luxurious lifestyle”. It sucks waiting for direct deposit to go through and bam! you read this message “your account has a zero balance” wow, now you have several people really crushed. The same people who believed in your vision, your idea, your creation, the same people who probably worked for free for endless hour till you started to break even and move into making revenue. Tissue please! Tears.

   Then all your employees quit. Then there’s a lawsuit, (public record), a complaint to the Department of Labor Hour and Wages, then to the BBB, Then John Morgan from Morgan & Morgan, (For the People) you know the attorney who's considered by many in my opinion just as sleazy as any boss, has a class action labor lawsuit filed on your Startup.

Then the doors close. All this stemming from a few fired, disgruntle employees who started character assassination war through calculated, malicious reviews and complaints. I mean I get called for jobs every single day, while I’m on the phone with the recruiter or HR, I am researching the company and reading reviews simultaneously, it takes me exactly 26 seconds to read three to four reviews and I just hang up in disgust. Of course, some reviews can be embellished and untruthful, but who has time to decipher what’s true and what’s fabricated. Reviews are designed to quickly persuade. Just like product reviews, hospitality reviews, Angie's List, a site for reading reviews for a certain type of service sought after.

  The moral to this story is this, be like Jesus and do what Jesus would when dealing with your employees while in the infantile fragile stages of building your startup company. Treat them right. Have good and well engaging job designs to keep them interested and motivated in what they do. Have a recognition system set up, even in the smallest scale.  Make sure you have competitive pay, either fair maket or slightly above the market, if the finance for talent was properly addressed in the business plan for investors then you will have it to spend on good talent. Good talent brings in your yearly revenue per employee ROI. So, it’s imperative that they are a well-kept part of your operations.

Always be mindful of your digital, online image or online presence. Get off your high horse; don't treat your employees like garbage, don't fire employees without remorse, compassion, empathy, like they cannot do anything about it. Revenge thru bad reviews can destroy your fragile business. I have seen many startups go down the drain because of pompous bosses, family interference, and unethical, dubious business practices.

Reviews are online forever, and are usually free to post them as well. Your employees are the most important component to your company, don't lie, cheat, steal, drink, drug, allow perversion, insert unfairness and then expect your employees to be loyal, dedicated or to even trust you again.

 Not having the right employees along with having a short staff shows not only poor below par management but it's also a crippling phenomenon that can bring a new fragile, fledgling startup business down due to not having a strong lucrative work force.

         This phenomenon of insufficient staffing led to a closing of a business as it happened Hostess, they had to shut down operations and closed the doors due to their Bakers going on huge continuous strikes as stated by CEO Rayburn of Hostess "We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike”.  As a startup company, be appreciative of your employees, be a humble Boss, have compassion, have remorse, be ethical, be fair, be honest, be transparent, be sober, be trustworthy, stop thinking you are so much smarter that your employees, because you are really at their mercy in some way.

While having lunch with a business cohort they told me of a previous job he had as a sign shop manager. His boss, the owner came into his companies door hollering, cursing and complaining about how incompetent his employees were because of how backup they were with client job orders.

A prominent amusement them park happened to be his biggest client, a total of 2 million dollars in job orders. Well this has been going on for a while now and the employees all decided that they are going to teach their boss a lesson in humility.

They erased the entire data from all the computers, yes a case for (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act), but the damage is done and more money to spend on a civil suit. I mean all templates, all the financials records, the entire CRM, 10 years of info, all gone with a startup disk, and then in unison all 6 of them never showed up for work the next day. The owner instantaneously turned into Gandhi and transformed himself into a righteous clergyman and begged for his employees to come into work.

The damage was done, the cancer has spread to the point that it had to be eradicated. The owner was upset and blamed his wife because they had an argument that morning that eased into the work environment that ill faded morning when he transferred his personal strife to his employees.

Let me cut though the chase before I bore you to death, the company closed its doors, loss of all their clients, and he went into printing t-shirts from his garage. Imagine the reviews his business received online.

If you fire someone, be as ethical and discreet as possible, try to give them a severance package, try to find them solutions, or give them letters of recommendations, reference letters or a severance package, but please be classy. Maybe there is something else that employee can do than the job first offered to them. Most of all, the biggest, most devious, downright dirty, nasty, self-inflicted killer of all times is this...PLEASE do not wait till the end of the day or their shift to fire an employee. They will hate you forever, that work time of their production you would have gain of their sweat equity they will never get back.

Nobody cares about working the whole day if they are going to get let go and the end of the day, let me assure you as am matter of fact, especially if the job is physically, or mentally demanding. This really brews like cancer in them and the next thing you know you have an employee going postal!!!!  Also, this way they won’t catch wind of it while working and start a cancerous tornado or even steal or damage computers or information.

Please to all CEO's, Owners, or VP's do the firing first thing in the morning it will save you more bad publicity and bad reviews, plus no business establishment wants police at their business and on the news because of an employee that was fired maliciously at the end of a hard day’s work and went postal in today’s hard economy. It happens unfortunately.

Understand that having good, loyal employees is essential to a startup and will also help in growing your business faster through high operations efficiency along with increasing strategic positioning, keeping cost down and increasing yearly revenue.

Negative reviews are so powerful because they take seconds to persuade someone, and in this fast, brutal corporate world and seconds can make or break deal or bring down a fledgling startup. Don’t let bad reviews be the downfall of your business endeavors or financial dreams.

Having a bad online digital presence will cripple your chances of hiring top talent along with procuring investors. Know your employment laws like AA/EEO, FMLA, ADA, and OSHA regulations. Cherish your employees, respect them, treat them as part of the company and not as detachments, and remember your digital online presence is monumental in today’s employment environment and investor markets.

The Fetishizing Effect. Dreams, Reality, Outcomes.

We all have dreams, we all want to make it, we all want to be successful. What is success to you? and at what cost would you do to achieve it? We can see that media, social media, radio and other media sources magnify wealth and power, or status. We see a false picture of what success is supposed to be. Success is only measured by its owner not from what others depict it to be. What if your dream is not realistic?  What if you never achieve these high unrealistic successful benchmarks. Then your madden and depressed and opressed and you tend to live a lie. 

 The corporate  and industrial verticals has been sending out false depiction of what success is. They have the masses fetishizing money, status, and power. Fame is fetishized to a point where nothing is private, nothing is pure, special ,or meaningful.  You're life is a open book for society to pick apart and humiliate as they feel better about themselves that some other idiot is on TV selling their soul while they try to put thier own life back in perspective.

This is a vicious cycle that continues to rob you due to not having a clear and defined realistic sense of wellbeing, happiness and success. We can follow dreams, or we can follow tradition but the fetishizing of money, wealth, power through wealth and or power thru status can rob you of joy and a sense of self-awareness and personal realistic success.

Following your dreams and losing yourself or following tradition and regretting not following your dream. This is the question I pose to you. 

Really is your dream worth it. Do you have what it takes, are you willing to make ultimate sacrifices that’s is fueled by If you were once or now passionate about a dream, or pursuing a dreamful career and on top of it all you have had some significant success, should you give up on it all if you get married?

 Should you expect your wife or husband to encourage you and be there for you as a cheerleader as you chip away at your dream?

 Or should you focus on the marriage in a whole and your kids? Should you feel some type of way if she or he is not there for you, or docent seem to care about any of it citing "forget about that already" or just they are just not interested in your? Or they don’t think it’s realistic? Maybe they think that it is a  pipe dreams, what should you do?

Questions to make you think about what’s real, what’s the purpose of you and your career goals, is the chase good enough for you a subliminal purpose in life to live or   are the results of achieving your dreams, fame, financial power the ultimate soul fulfilling contentment.  

The fact of having your morals in tact, keeping true to some sort of moral integrity, like honesty, love, being truthful to self and others, giving, along with being compassionate and  having virtues not only keep you grounded it also keeps realistic, wholesome goals in reach and without ethical dissolution. Does being a millionaire and how you got there really mean success. Is it really realistic?

The virtues that we all used to have instilled in us has been diluted by the media with false representation of what success is like (fame, money, power, status). Is it all worth it once you've made it? or ...was it worth it if it meant loosing your family or losing your morals or not having any virtues. Hummmmm?  Be real with your self, "who are you in the dark" once you have truly answered that you may find enlightenment on what really matters to you and what dreams are really worth pursuing. 

Success is only measured by its owner, and not a reflection of the masses. Dreamers continue to dream but don't sell your soul to get the results you need to fix that false pretense of what success is. Dream to live, but a human first before being a product of society.

Don't do the Crime if you can't of the Time

"Do the time if you do the crime"

"Don't  do the Crime if you can't of the Time" also means  "Apply if you Qualify" in the corporate world.If you do not qualify for a role, if you do not have specific requirements, specified in bold "must have's" don't apply!

It shows desperation on your behalf which employers frown upon. The last thing an employer needs is a "desperate employee" that makes irrational decisions.

Better yet "Stay in your Lane" be good at what you do and apply for that perfect fit, the perfect role. It will not only show your comprehension of the role but it will increase your interviewing confidence and increase hiring opportunities.
