    Apply for anything that you meet 70% of the required skills.

This is a very good point. Believe it or not, employers (in my experience) are more interested in hiring someone with demonstrated competence, energy and an ability to stretch to the requirements than someone who meets the requirements only.

Apply for jobs you think you can do, not jobs you know you can do. Hell, apply to firms that don't have job openings. You might be surprised.
