Have you ever thought about applying for a job slightly above your skill level? Did you wonder if you could somehow level up if given the opportunity? It's entirely possible for you to do that, and here's how:

Apply with organizations that offer extensive training

Not all jobs are for "experienced" people. Many employers hire people with no experience to fill jobs. They do this with the notion that they can train anyone to do a job. If that's true, they can also train someone who is not inexperienced but only slightly below the requirements.

Try searching for a company that offers extensive training in the field you want to work. A comprehensive training program can bump you to where you need to be and maybe even further.

Enroll in courses that pertain to the job

You can invest in some courses if you're serious about the position. Sign up for the classes and start taking them while you're still conducting your job search. You might get caught up before you land your first interview, and then you can impress the interviewer immensely.

Network and get help from others

Don't forget about the large network of people you can tap into through professional social media connections. Maybe you know a former colleague or leader who won't mind helping you learn how to navigate a new position. Alternatively, you can connect with a more experienced person on the job site if you get hired despite your experience level. That person might help you grow if he or she has a kind and helpful nature.

Don't be afraid to reach for something a little bit higher. You might find that you can get a job and excel at it once you're there. Believe in yourself and try some of the methods mentioned above.
