"yes, I'm interested, let's talk further"
This. Because as part of the talking further, you can explain that you've never done specifically X before, but clearly you have the demonstrated skills and results to do/learn it.
It's easier to explain that in person, with more time available to elaborate, than in a phone conversation/e-mail.
"yes, I'm interested, let's talk further"
From a selling it point of view, I would frame it that way. One of the first parts of the talking further would be, just how important direct, specific experience is to them at this time.
Happy Birthday, Ginger!!
Steph, I am so sorry about the family situation. You really do not need another kick in the balls (but you are NOT the Angel of Death, I promise.)
Happy birthday, Ginger!
And w00t on the great review, Barb!
Happy birthday, Ginger! Did you go to Waffle House for breakfast?

Whenever I work with people in career change, I strongly recommend avoiding the 'I've never done this before' statement UNLESS, as Windsparrow suggests, there is a resume requirement of X years experience doing Y specifics.
Usually, the truth is, the applicant HAS done things similar or contributing to whatever is required for success. Understanding an industry's quirks and needs can be learned. True management skill? That's usually inborn, in my experience.
Happy birthday, Ginger!
And go Vortex on the great job lead, too.
Happy birthday, Ginger! Woot, Barb! Go with the job lead, Vortex! Everybody happy!
Except me. OMG. I have a cold, work is exploding with the stupid, and the cats won't shut up. I want to drug myself with Benadryl and go back to bed.
Happy birthday, Ginger!!!!
In terms of qualifying for unemployment, this may vary by state, but there's an important distinction between being fired with cause (i.e., stealing stuff) and being laid off (i.e., reorg, downsizing, "just not working out" etc). You only qualify for unemployment if you're laid off.
This. Illinois says you have to be "unemployed through no fault of your own." So if you quit or are fired with cause, no employment.
