Skill is a snapshot of today. Hunger is a trajectory toward tomorrow.
In a scaling business, the role changes faster than the CV.
The credentials you screened for go stale, but drive adapts, learns, and runs at the hard problems. Southwest built a legendary culture on one idea: hire for attitude, train for skill.
