I been in four positions with the company.. web development, sys admin, it manager and just recently director (which really is the same at the IT manger, just a restructuring of positions).
I actually started when the web just started. And, yes, as we grow and refreshed out technology, obviously I have to keep abreast of newer technologies and plan/implement them. The only issue I had was.. do not call me saying you are going to offer me the position and then back out because of how long I stayed at my current company. You figure that the high school grad getting paid $9 an hour to forward/reject resumes would have known this.. or the recruiter of the company that did the phone screen... or the HR person in the 1st interview and the CTO in the second interview would have seen this on my resume/application. Four people did not realize I worked at the same company for 15 years until they thought about offering me the position.. little unprofessional if you ask me. But hey.. probably not a place I want to work at anyways now that I think about it...

Depending on the environment, most companies change (refresh > technology) every 2-5 years so that would force some expansion of skills. > Another scenario is that you started in one role and changed your role, > probably more than once in that 15 years. > > Sorry for the bad news, hopefully you will find something. > > Robert > > On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 6:19 PM, Jacob Kisner <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Nothing sucks more than being interviewed for a position at a >> different company last Tuesday, then being called Thursday to say we >> are going to offer you a position and finally being told today that we >> changed our mind...
