What criteria define #Homosapiens?

Ive read that they existed prior to anatomically modern humans, so what makes early H. sapiens included despite not being physically the same?

Might stop getting excited for jobs, it feels like an impossible task to secure one. Plus, sometimes you dont even get acknowledgement.

No acknowledgement email upon application, and not heard anything despite interviews being Friday.

Don't think I got it :(

But im sure it'll be hella competitive.

Any tips for the (hopefully) interview?
