Most job-seekers have had this experience: You find a job you think you'd be perfect for, but you don't have the exact experience the posting describes. Do you simply move on? Or apply anyway and hope the recruiter sees potential in you? According to TopResume's career expert Amanda Augustine, you do the latter — but only if you're ready to sell yourself. Below, Augustine gives CNBC Make It three tips for selling yourself to a potential employer, even if you don't have all of the qualifications they're looking for:

1. Be proactive about building skills

During your job search, Augustine suggests gathering three to five job descriptions that represent the type of position you're looking for. Even if you don't plan on applying to every job, she says having these descriptions side-by-side will give you a clear idea of the common skills employers are looking for in this particular role. If there is a skills gap, then she says look into taking a quick online course at a site like Lynda.com. The idea, she says, is not to show that you're an expert at something. The idea is to be able to demonstrate a working knowledge of the skills an employer is asking for. When you go into an interview, Augustine says you can tell a hiring manager, "I understand you are looking for this and here are the steps I have taken to gain those skills." Then, she says, you want to show what skills you already have that will help you to fulfill the demands of the job. "If you do this," she explains, "you are miles ahead and will impress an employer."

2. Maximize unpaid experiences

If you're a recent college graduate, you've likely encountered entry-level jobs that inexplicably require three to five years of experience. It's frustrating, but don't panic. Augustine suggests you take out a pen and paper and brainstorm everything you have done in college that helped you to "build the skills that will make you attractive to employers." This includes, she says, internships, volunteer experiences and local organizations that you were part of. Even senior level classes that called for you to work on a big research project or to do impactful work in the community can be considered, adds Augustine. "It's all about positioning," she says. "Your resume is a marketing document and you want to position it for whatever you are going after. That means play up the things employers are looking for and play down the things they aren't." This same idea applies to more seasoned professionals. If you're applying for a job that you aren't 100 percent qualified for, emphasize your strongest skills and greatest accomplishments to date, so that employers can focus on those.

3. Find an advocate
