  1. I suppose next I should be asking if you fulfill the requirements? They're going to hire you, as any other job would, based on your qualification... if you meet the requirements and are able to do the position. It's impossible to know how much competition you'll have unless you ask the company itself. I always assume the competition is enormous... it keeps me motivated to do my best.


  2. Yes, you will have competition and the job is most likely already filled.

  3. They're going to hire you, as any other job would, based on your qualification if you meet the requirements and are able to do the position.  but dont let them give you a bad time about yourself keep strait and if your friends think you can go for it (if they are not drug dealers or addictts) than you should
