I don�t know what to do. A chance has come up for me to apply to a job in my hometown. One that I�d so love to go back to. However, I�m not sure if I�m "ready."

Now, my problem is on the hypothetical situation that, after I apply, they offer me the job. I have yet to even send my resume in. But, if I do, and if they were to offer me the job, I don�t know that I�d take it. I have enough experience, and a nice way with words, that I can spin out a cover letter and resume which reads as though I really am the communications specialist I make myself out to be. But that�s just it. Am I really a communications specialist? I have only nine months experience in public relations/communications and two years in journalism. I can write it so I sound perfect for the job (that kinda IS my job), but how would I perform in a lead position? I fear that, if I apply, get an interview, and then get the job, that I�ll fail miserably and end up living a sad existence in my parent�s basement.

Okay, so I�m jumping the gun a little� a lot. I need to first send out my portfolio. I actually feel as though I won�t even get an interview, as it is a competitive market and I�m a newbie in the field. I think I will apply, though. Let�s see what kind of response I get. (This kind of enthusiasm after my previous entry today where I was almost in tears� I�ve had lots of coffee since then.)
