Is it just me, or is that sort of thing seemingly more common than not? I
mean, it seems that each and every time that I talk to a recruiter, or check
out a job posting, the PDs themselves are written in such a way as to
literally exclude anyone that does not have exactly what some nit-whit in
management thought out.
A prime example just actually happened to me a short time ago. I've worked
with the AR System for years, and I am an application developer that has
written everything from web servers to imap server right up to network
management software. I can speak Gopher, Http, SMTP, POP3, IMAPR4, and SNPP
by heart and from memory. When I get bored, I write Windows services, web
services or port unix software over to Windows for fun.
Would you believe that, in spite of it all that, because the last version of
the AR System that I worked with was 6.3, I was excluded from consideration
because I did not have experience with version seven? Pa-th-et-ic! Sneaking a
delta class in - if it's actually needed - is not that much! Besides, can
anyone truely say that they had version seven experience right after it came
out? The trainling classes were not available.
Santa Claus - for Christmas this year, I'd really like some of the folks who
write this stuff to take a good whiff of what's being shoveled 'cause their
standing in it.

Well... You've got me there. I cannot walk on water. I tend to sink, but
since I love SCUBA, it's all good.
