Good news - got a response to a resume...
Bad news is, assuming I got the job and at the highest wage they are asking, I will have virtually no money left at all after bills. And I haven't even looked at the health benefits package and that's a biggie for me right now...

Of course, it's also a downgrade from my current level (what's comparable to "level 3" to "level 1". But it's a job I'd rather want to do at this point. But given the tasks involved, I'm not sure of its stability.

Should I consider applying with the supllemental form they just sent?

Thanks.

1. why not? You can always turn it down and the "practice"
will be good for you, ie. prepare you for the interviewing process...

2. Go to the interview anyway
You'll get ego satisfaction and confidence when they BEG you to work for them. You're overqualified, so you'll have the upper hand.

3. Or I'm overqualified and will dismiss me as such.
It's happened to others.
