Yeah *you*, why haven't you done anything??

[pokes you]

The thing is, the guys I'm looking at seemingly have a stack of graduate 
opportunities, all slightly different. I can't see one specific job in 
their list where I tick *all* of the boxes. But given that I'm the sort 
of nutcase who is likely to open up Wikipedia and learn about active 
power factor correction JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT (!), it would seem that 
I would be emminently suited to these kinds of jobs - even if I don't 
know all the necessary theory right this second. I have the power to 
learn it, and that surely is what counts.

Now, how the **** do I tell them that? (Especially given that they seem 
to want you to apply using an online application process where you 
specify a specific job you're applying for, and there doesn't seem to be 
a way to contact a human about this.) I think if I could just persuade 
them to interview me and talk to me, they could probably find something 
useful to employ me for. But how?
