I applied for a job 5 minutes ago on jobsite. The pay is massive and the experience requirements are about twice what I have. I'd say I'm 60% qualified, and should really be earning about 60% of what they're offering really. So I'm attempting to jump up the ladder, like a frog on crack whose been shot up the **** with a 50cal.
I stressed my massive enthusiasm for the role (sounds cool as fudge) and my superhuman ability to learn new things, so I can only hope they invite me to an interview and then I wow them with my charm and perhaps some breakdancing like minimorecambe's hedgehog.
What do people think about this kind of thing? I mean, should people try to get jobs they're not fully qualified for, so long as they're honest? Or should we do it properly and find jobs that will give us the experience before we try for the tougher jobs? Am I being a cheeky fekker?
It's very rare I am enthusiastic about a job .... or anything at all really, so I felt I couldn't pass up at least having a punt on this. Anyway, just needed to rant, so when I get ignored I can at least have a forum record as proof that I tried.
