I would LOVE to apply for this job and I really, really think I could do it--at least what I understand of it. The problem? I have everything but library experience. My background is business processes and tax compliance, I have a CPA, and a degree in business admin.
Here's the description:
Associates Degree with at least three years of work experience in the following areas: personnel supervision, training and development, automated circulation systems, and the daily operations of a large public library system; or an equivalent combination of experience and training that has provided the knowledge, abilities and skills listed on the job description
I bolded the above. Do you think I have a shot in heck?

I can't say without seeing the knowledge, abilities and skills given, but in general, "or an equivalent" is hard to meet, they really want the experience.
