An Assistant Dean of Students position just popped up in my Bloglines feedreader (Don’t worry, I’ll post more on ways to search for a job in student affairs using rss feeds and email digests…).
This position looks like it was written for me…if only I had 2-3 more years of experience. Sigh.

You should apply anyways. You are superbly qualified, with the exception of that strange “years experience” that is, ultimately, subjectively determined by the hiring committee anyways. Talk to the person taking the application, and mention why you’re applying in your letter. What’ve you got to lose? Especially if this job is something you’ve wanted to do for a while…
i agree with the luke. talk with them, maybe there’s some flexibility there…
ps. where is this?
