Philomena has been working as an assistant at a marketing firm for two years. She found a job advertised online. The job description states that they are looking for a manager for the social media team, so it requires a lot of social media experience as well as well as supervising many employees. Philomena has managed her current company’s Facebook page. Another employee usually handles Instagram and Twitter, although Philomena filled in when that employee was on vacation. She has not actually supervised any other employees. Should she apply for the job?
