It's for an Oral Surgical Nurse position. So the requirement is that I need to have Wisdom Teeth Removal and Implantology skills. I have a Nursing background and I am willing to learn these skills (plus more when required). The next step is the interview (it says that in the email I received today). What can I write that can at least get me to the interview? That are very consistant with pointing out these requirements.
