I would send my CV ,,,,,,All of the jobs that I have applied for on Bayt  i had lacked one qualification , I dont speak Arabic, but i apply anyway, hoping the employers take in consideration of  my other qualifications.still hoping for my chance, Who knows it might be your lucky day :)

I would send my CV with a nice cover letter letting them know that you are aware of the qualification that you do not have and you will do your best to grant that qualification as soon as they hire you.

I will still send my CV, I will still try for the job if I have the skills and will look forward for an opportunity to impress the Interview panel. I believe Qualification is just of the eligibility criterias, which shouldnt stop a person to reach his dreams.

This is really interesting quesiton and many of the job seekers come across such situation. Well first of all my principle is Never Give Up! I will sure apply though I don't have one of the demanded qualifications in the hope that my gained experience and some plus points may be much impressive than the demanded qualification which I do not have. We learn by experiences rather than qualifications.

Yes, I will. Because I am willing to learn and to be trained. There is no harm in trying.

I agree with Mr. Naif, with respect to the company who has posted the job openings. Nowadays, no matter how prepared you are to go to the beach but you dont know how to swim, then theres no sense of going there at all.

Yes but not now. On next Monday

Its depend on how effectively the eligibility criterias of one suits to the offer placed. Literally speaking, one who does not posess the very qualification of what is being demanded, cannot look into seeking an opportunity by any way. If the CV, as mine does not matches with the tech. aspects of one or more of the job description, I possibly shift my idea to another for applying..
