<prompt> Human: I currently work with taxes in the US. Was offered a position as a financial controller for a restaurant. Basically accountingpayrollinventory but also managing deliveries and helping with catering drop offs movingsetup billing clients. Although Im confident I could learn every aspect, glass door is suggesting an accounting degree and 3 years experience. I think even if it was half of the job, Id feel comfortable accepting. There is just a lot of room for error with the lack in experience. Id be going from 14hr to 50k and its hard to turn down that raise when they asked me I didnt apply.Is it common to actually turn down work and be honest when underqualified? Edit: Survey says I take the position and learn as I go. They wanted me for some reason so I need to trust them and myself.Edit 2: Well. This felt like the biggest pep rally. This sub is wonderful. On top of employment insight, please send culinary inspiration. My latest project was a brown butter and banana ice-cream. Assistant: In this economy there just arent enough qualified people. Employers have to hire unqualified people and train them.Take the job. We suffered through the recession, now its time to cash in.Human: It just seems odd in my head. Like, if roles were flipped Im not sure if hire me for it based on experience. All my knowledge is in biology and personal finances.  <response>: Sounds like you got a real chance. My only advice is take it and run as far as you can with it! It might be time to start trying to beef up as much as you can on these areas to ensure your success, but go for it.
