Well, here's my take on it. If the area I don't qualify in is quite significant, I don't apply for the job. If it's only one small thing, I might try it.I don't want to waste my energy if I know I don't have a chance. One time, I applied for a job that required a driver. I knew I couldn't do that, but I could have paid a driver. I didn't even get an interview.

There are some jobs out there that I absolutely know I don't qualify for, because there are things that I have not done before, or know that I would have a difficult, if not impossible time doing.  He says that I should apply anyway.  I say why would I do that knowing that I don't meet the qualifications they are asking for.  For instance, one job I just looked at today has lots of things that I can do: answer phone, direct calls, word processing, record meeting minutes and send them out to appropriate people, order office supplies.  But here are the things I'm not so sure about: scan documents, maintain electronic AND hardcopy files, (the hard copy ones are the ones I question) distribute mail, create calendars, and the biggy, put text into graphics; I'm assuming that they have the graphic and they want text imbedded in the graphic.  They also want someone who can operate a fax and a copier, (which I have not done but assume that if I had a way of knowing whether the page was upside down or right-side up, I could do).  Apply or not to apply, that is the question.  Lol.    Peace,    Debby
