What's important in this article is the line "Don’t waste your time applying for roles that aren’t relevant." I think we find ourselves, in a comprehensive BFA program saying, "I can do that!" For instance, I'm fairly familiar with sound, but I'm not going to apply to be a sound designer at the ART. It's out of my league. However, if the job you're applying for is in the field, then you should go for it. While I couldn't be a sound designer (at least not without passing Production Audio), this program has equipped me to be thrown into any theatrical situation and be able to discern what's going on, at at least a rudimentary level. So yeah, I could very well be an A2. For us, though, all work experience in theater is relevant for any theater job. Personally, when I applied for a non-theatrical job, I rewrote my resume to at least try and match what they were looking for. It's all about knowing your audience.
