[quote=Anonymous]Found a job that I'm very interested in. It's with a trade group that represents an industry that both my parents have worked in. So, while I have not worked in that field, I am very familiar with it. My father was the elected leader of a somewhat related group, and has been a consultant to corporations in this field for 30+ years. Other than some work in his office during college and some local freelance work I did for him 20 years ago, my experience is indirect. How do I mention my familiarity with the field without sounding like a child? I'm more than qualified for the job (In fact, slightly overqualified), but my indirect industry knowledge and contacts could quite give me an edge. I'm not looking to name drop, or use nepotism to get in the door, but feel my family's background would be an asset.[/quote]
