Areas

Hello all. With the hyper intense and competitive job market, how are you handling the question "do you have experience in this particulr area/ software/ ect." This is not for roles where you lack skills in many areas, and are clearly under qualified. You meet the 75- 80 experience threshold, but in the interview, they ask you that akward direct question about a specific skill you lack. Do you try and name some transferable skills, or some weak sort of related experience? In a less competitive job market, these areas would be fine to train over time if the candidate is strong overall. I get the impression now though, you can show no weakness, because they can and will find someone who has everything you have plus what you don't.
