Posted By Sean Fraser Andrew, Apply anyway! If you feel it fits your needs, and you think you can do the job, then there is always room to negotiate with the prospective employer. Emphasise the activites you have been involved in - you may be part time, but if you have been instrumental in establishing or revitalising the SMS in your organisation, then this would count poisitively towards you if compared to a more "experienced" individual who has just been sailing along. Accentuate the positive and be ready to answer questions about the negative - what may look bad to start with could be turned around and made to look better under a different light.
