Rachael,

I say go for it!! I know a friend applied for a PA position in a large Co. her cousin worked there & did almost all of the typing & stuff for her & she simply sorted out the bosses calendar, meetings & made coffee til she eventually (about 4-5mths) got the hang of it & she has since moved up higher & higher!!!! She had no typing skills, but kind of got as much info as she could about the company & then applied & got the job... They loved her & she had never worked before in her life other than part time in a hair dressers!

Can you study the business or anything else to have as much info about the company you possibly can???

You have to learn to sell yourself! Maybe practise with friends & when I had to write my resume I saw a heap less skill in me than others & so I got coworkers etc to tell me a few things they each saw in me & surprisingly I look pretty good in my resume & there are things there I didnt realise I did, it's just something I do automatically!

Good Luck, sounds like they want you so go for it!!!!!!

Best of luck!
