I am spending 2 to 3 hours a day commuting so I got the OK from my current manager to apply for a position with the company in my home city. I filled out the paperwork tonight and will get it signed off on tomorrow and submit it.

It is in inside sales which I worked in from 2002 to 2011 and did well in, but the boss thinks I lack product knowledge and won't get it, which may be why he agreed to sign off on my application.

A friend of mine who applied at my company recently for a sales job said she got the distinct impression they did not want a woman, so I figure the odds are against me but I will see what happens. I have mixed feelings.
