Should I apply for this job, even though I am not quite qualified for the job?

Question

I want to be a paraprofessional (teacher's aide), I have a bachelors degree in science and may in the future want to get my masters in teaching. There is a job opening at a school but they want someone with one year of experience working with or training to work with disabled children. I have never worked with disabled children, but should I go for the job anyway? I don't know what to do

Answer 1

You can apply. It is possible that they cannot find anyone with one year of experience. You have nothing to lose, do you?
