Years back when I came to Australia I applied to a job that required "5 years on VC++ Experience" (which I had). During the interview the guy noticed I had in my CV the position of "Technical Team Lead [for a 8 person team] & Senior Dev" that I had for 5 years doing VC++ and asked me: - How much of your time was dedicated to being the "TTL" of the team? - About 20-30% I said. 10 seconds later he said: - Well, you can't say you have 5 years of VC++ Experience then. You only have 4! As you spend the rest as TTL WTFFFFFF?????
Well, most of the requiters are just paper movers and people filters. I know very few of them that are able to do a more than basic interview. When you go to the interview with a recruiter be bold, strong, sure on yourself and "trash" him with your experience. If you "heard of" a technology you are "good with it" if you used it you are "highly experienced with it" and if you are really good you are more than a "field expert". Just present them everything +30% ... They wouldn't be able to figure it out anyway. Happy Friday, Corneliu.
