Applying for a maternity cover job

[EhatBow]

DS has seen a job advertised. He has some junior management experience in the same industry, but is several steps down the ladder to the job advertised.

However, it's a temporary contract for maternity cover. Worth going for it anyway? They might not get many applicants for a FTC? He can afford to take the risk of something short term for the experience.

I just filled a maternity cover post for a managerial position and we had hardly any applicants. We considered everyone who applied even those with less experience so I think he should go for it! Might be a great step on the ladder - Good luck to him!
