So I'm applying for a another job. Not because I fed up with what I do now but because it would be about a 36% raise. I'm probably a little under-qualified but I thought I would give it a go anyway. What do you guys think. Here is the job description, requirements, and my resume (I left out all the specific names and contact info): Do you guys think I have a shot? I won't be offended if you say no... I'm going to apply anyway since I figure it won't hurt.

I guess I should also mention that the application included a 12 page application and 9 page IT addendum where I went in to MUCH more detail of my responsibilities and duties. The resume is just being submitted to supplement the application materials.
