<human>: Is it wrong to apply to a place one of your really close friend has applied?

We're in the field of study and we can get jobs in that field even if we're still being in the progress of getting our diploma. I currently work in a lab (as we are in chemistry) 2 days a week (+some nights if they need me). I am paid 13$/hr. She is working in a clothes selling place for 10$/hr and has a kid (at 23years old)

We read about another place that was looking for a lab tech for 14-15$/hr, 20-25 hours a week. She really wants the job as she needs an internship next summer. It would help her a lot since she's running low on money.

I really want the job too, but I feel like she wouldn't take it if I was taken over her. I have a fairly good chance in getting the job since I worked for two known labs and my bosses loved me and would be willing to give me a referencial letter.

Is it wrong to give it a shot?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Close friend need a job in chemistry. I already have one but want the job she's applying to. Am I wrong?
