Job application etiquette

This is all such good advice I'm tempted to apply for the job just so I can take it!

Anyway, I'm not going to do it. It's chief technology officer for a telecom company. At first glance it looked like an internal running the IT shop kind of thing. But as I look over it, it also involves dealing with major customers to make sure they're buying the right stuff, and I'm not sure a) I want to be in sales, even peripherally and b) if it even makes sense to have these functions rolled together.

The kicker, I think, is that they specifically ask for experience in the telecom industry, so this one isn't worth my while.
