I’ve never had a job in my life—yes really, I’ve had a rather strange life so far, it’s complicated—but I’ve been reading and thinking about topics which I now know are related to operations for years, trying to design (in my head...) a system for distributing the work of managing a complex organization across a totally decentralized group so that no one is in charge, with the aid of AI and a social media esque interface. (I’ve never actually made the thing, because I keep finding new things I need to know, and I’m not a software engineer, just a designer.)
So, I think I have some parts of the requisite skillset here, and a ton of intuition about how to run systems efficiently built up from all the independent studying I’ve done—but absolutely no prior experience with basically anything in reality, except happening to (I believe) have the right personality for operations work. Should I bother applying?

Hi, I’d encourage you to apply if you recognize yourself in the About you section!
When in doubt always apply is my motto personally
