I am desperate to leave my job in a Council for something with better pay. I have been trying to complete an application for a job in a different local authority for about a week with the deadline tonight. I have done research on competencies and STAR technique. From the job specification I could do the role as most of it is similar to my role now however some of the things I don’t have any experience in at all and can’t find anything that would even remotely relate. I have tried to find examples of things outside of work but nothing.
I am thinking of still applying for it but addressing this in the personal statement which asks for evidence against the requirements but also states please indicate why you are applying. Just posting here for any advice on how to word this. I want to say that even though I haven’t any experience of X Y Z I could learn it quickly. Just to say where I am now I had to quickly teach myself access and new skills when my manager went on sick last year for 6 months.
Any help/ advice appreciated as I seem to have a mental block. I have been in my current role for 8 years and I can’t even remember the application or interview though I suppose it has completely changed now.
