I'm an underwhelming candidate, but working hard to become at least, uh, whelming.... and if hired, you wouldn't have to pay me market rates. Will you hire me?

I would probably not hire you at this point in your career since being cheap is not my goal — Finding great candidates is.
That said, no candidate is ever perfect, there’s always something wrong. The key is to find people who you think will be great team members and who can shift into whatever role you need them to occupy at the time.
But I’m stoked to hear you are working hard to become more awesome, I’m trying to do the same. :-)
