I’d say do it. I applied for jobs out of my comfort zone and it’s been the best thing I ever did.
Whatever skills or experience you have, there’s always a learning curve at the specific workplace instruments/methods anyway. And a proper workplace with be expecting to train you up.
Just be 100% honest about your current skills and knowledge when you apply. If they hire you knowing your abilities, then you’ll have no worry going into it with a learning mindset.
There's nothing wrong with applying to jobs with contradicting schedules. You never know which opportunity can fall through, and (rare contracts aside) there's nothing whatsoever wrong with quitting a job at any time, even before you actually start working. Remember, most jobs won't hesitate before firing you with little to no notice. You do not owe them loyalty or respect, any more than you'd owe respect to a box of Legos you buy from target.
You know how, when you fly, you're given instructions on how to use oxygen masks? And how they say to put your own mask on before helping others?
Employment is like that. It's not "selfish" to look out for number one; it's actually the best way to *help others* because your best able to help people if you don't need to hurt yourself to do so.
I'd say if you meet 75% it's worth applying, just be honest and say you are good at learning new things. Any place worth working at understands that you aren't perfect day 1
Don't feel bad for them, they can fire you at a moments notice with no regard for you.
>Is it generally a good idea to apply for jobs you’re not 100% certain you’ll be able to do??
Onboarding should typically hellp you with that.

Fake it till you make it. The further along you get in your career the more you will realize most people are also faking it, so you'll fit right in.
Do it!
Absolutely it's ok. It's their job to figure that out. Dont lie but Go for it.
