Should I still apply for this?

There's a State job posting at the SBI here. It's definitely somewhere where I'd love to be. The reason why I'm not sure about applying is because of #1 and #2. They want you to have all of this knowledge about it, but how would you get that knowledge without working with it? It's not an interal post, so anyone can apply. Any thoughts? Also, what do you think they mean when they say thorough knowledge of a work processor? I know word processing programs, but is there actual word processors? Other than these I have all of the qualifications. What do you think? Should I still apply? Thanks so much.

#1 sounds like they're talking about something like HIPPA which takes all of 5 minutes to explain to someone.
It can't hurt to apply just be upfront and honest on what your skills are, maybe they'll be willing to train you.Chat Icon

i wouldn't apply unless you feel you are well versed in what they are asking in their ad.

It can never hurt to apply, but don't feel bad if you don't get called. #2 seems like they want very specific information.

Never hurts to apply, but don't be discouraged if you don't hear back.
