Do you ever feel that way? You have all the skills and background they ask for except for one or two. When placing ads one is faced with getting as much in the ad as one can afford. At the same time we are always looking for the "perfect" employee, just like you are looking for the "perfect" employer. When placing the ad then we make out a wish list.
Some ads do shoot for the moon. With many occupations if you interview well you have the opportunity of overcoming the ad. You job is to be able to sound confident in your interview or conversations. Don't forget to add your touch of passion to what you do well.
