Taking a chance?

I was browsing the job boards as usual today, I came across a listing that caught my eye, its close to home and its the next step I want to take in my career its for a IT Manager position @ a Healthcare . Plus I know someone that works in the building so I have a possible inside. However I'm doubting myself if I should even apply as I fear it may be too far outside of my relam right now.

Get together with your contact and see if you can get more details about the position, what specifically you would be doing, what sort of infrastructure they have, and so forth so that you can formulate a plan as to how your skills would specifically fit their need. If it looks good then go for it. Get in front of the hiring manager and show your worth to the company.
