    I wouldn't mention your LACK of skills and emphasize your strengths. There are few "perfect" candidates out there and if you have all the other qualifications I think they will assume you aren't a half-wit and can learn anything else needed If they ask you directly about it, just be honest and say you are a quick study and proficient in related area's i.e. computer skills and that should suffice.
    BTW I just took a Photoshop class online for $69 from my town Parks and Rec dept and it was great. Learn at your own pace etc. Maybe you could find something like that to give you at least preliminary knowledge.
    As ES said, you can't apply too often. It shows a real interest and employers like that. I know if I saw the same resume come across my desk (assuming I remember it!) I'd eventually consider the candidate.
    Good Luck!

    Your retrying just shows them your determination and that could be a plus in your favor. It shows you don't get discouraged easy and are willing to keep trying until you accomplish what you want.

    Digital skills... Is there somewhere, where you could take lessons? Get signed up and say you are now enrolled in a class for that..?

    Kim,

    Go for it. Like I said on the phone, if you don't, there will always be that "what if???" nagging at you. Like Kitten645 said, don't mention your lack of skills. Sell yourself like a ho on the street, girlfriend. Focus on all your strengths. That's what sells.

    JUST DO IT!!!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    Lots of luck, Kim, the job description sounds so perfect for you! I hope you get the position so you can finally get tons of recognition for your awesome work!

    I'm a computer/digital/electronic nincompoop, but I don't think digital imaging is difficult. Leave that part out and like Donna and everyone else said, sell yourself. Nobody can possibly know everything about everything!

    Fingers crossed for you!



    I've been Boooo'd!
