How do you tell a hiring manager you're still learning one of the required software programs in the job post? I meet almost all the other requirements for this job that I really want, but I'm still a beginner with Sage.

You can say that you know the basics but you're still mastering the program. It's normal not to have every single qualification, and most software programs function relatively similarly to others, so if you know one, you know them all, so to speak.

Be honest with them. Caveat by saying you've been studying it, doing courses, whatever. If the rest of your skill set matches up nicely, there's a good chance knowing you're at least somewhat familiar and actively working to get better will be enough for them.

I just had the initial call with HR. I was told that Senior Analysts start at 56k and Business Operations Specialists start at 67k. I was told the next step was Junior Manager but they rarely started anyone at that level. I'm shocked. Is that accurate or are they trying to lower my expectations? I have an MBA and an MHA and 20 years military experience.
