Problem is HR people all seem to want sales people to have all kinds of knowledge about very specialized fields before they even will consider someone. Not sure how they plan on finding many candidates that way as some of the companies are in VERY specialized fields, there just can't be that many who know as much as they want them to about their products or services!
I hope that doesn't stop you from applying...in my field they do that too, seriously, some jobs lists of required skills in IT you would need 2 candidates with 100 years of age, lol... apply anyway.
One job I got was because I had better grammar and was more well spoken, more confident than the other candidates, some of whom had more experience... you never know, Matt. Carpe Diem.
This is also where networking can help get you around the usual HR weeding...
You really don't have much to lose by applying everywhere, do you?
