I want to apply to roles slightly outside my experience area but the skills transfer. I meet most of the requirements but not really the background. Anyone else had success doing this, and how did you frame it?

Find what directly transfers and translate it into the new industry terms. Even though I have a background in X, this new role relies on whatever skills I have.
