    Successful Job Search: Don't Eliminate Yourself Prematurely
    When we're looking for work, we read job announcements, newspaper classifieds, and online descriptions carefully, concentrating on every word. Too often, we see that a particular skill or certain experience is sought.With a sinking feeling, we realize that we don't have exactly what the employer is looking for and, regretfully, move on. But wait a minute! Job announcements are written to include everything the employer would like to have, not necessarily what is absolutely required. If you have at least a few of the skills listed, apply anyway and let the potential employer, not your own lack of self-confidence, screen you out.Unless there are absolute requirements such as licensure or certification, the requirements may be more in the nature of a wish-list and employers know that it's likely that they won't find someone with everything they would like. They are hoping for an applicant who has most of the skills listed but also know that training in at least some areas is going to be necessary.If you present yourself honestly and frankly, conveying enthusiasm and the willingness to learn whatever is needed, the interviewer is going to like you. Once you've reached that point, you'll find that many of the stated requirements can be waived very easily.Screening yourself out early may lead to missing an opportunity that could have developed into an outstanding career.

    It appears that Raytheon Corp., which does lots of contracts for the United States military is shedding its Beechcraft brand of general aviation aircraft as that division is up for sale now.
