A tip for the job hunter

Just because a job advert is asking for someone more experienced then you does not mean that you should not apply for the job.
When I first saw the ad for a particular job I did not think I would have a chance at getting the position, because it seemed to be asking for someone with significant experience, and I have not yet worked in my field of study.
But I applied anyway, because the job was in an area I particularly wanted to work in.
I am so glad I did, because they obviously decided my experience was not too lacking and they interviewed me. In the interview they mainly focused on the experience I had acquired while at university. Don't undervalue what you do at university, it is not just about getting a degree, it is also about learning the skills which employers are looking for
So, yeah, I got a call today, and let's just say I am very glad I applied for that job.
