"Just say yes. If you don't know how to do something just say yes. Once you have the job then go figure it out. If you turn down jobs because you don't how to do that particular thing then you will never learn how to do it. But if you say yes, you are putting yourself into a position of forced learning. Either you figure it out or you fail and as humans we don't like to fail so my guess is you'll figure it out."
