either
i'm in a whole lot kill files, or we've already hit recruiting saturation on
the plug list, and friends of those on the plug list.. ;-)

yer not on my kill list. Even if I had one, you'd be safe ;-)
I'd send ya my resume, but my resume has recent/past titles like CEO,
VP, and National Sales Manager. I would not be a good fit for some
techie positions I see posted on this list, unless they wanted to train
me and/or allow me to dust off the other qualifications desired in their
postings. Computer Science was not even offered as a degree when I went
to BYU; it was merely an emphasis on EE degrees. Plus I'm not sure you
can afford me in such positions ... the $99,999.99 entry level help desk
monkey ;-P (nor would it be wise to do so)

In many instances, I think those companies that find themselves in the
position of scarce applicants might additionally consider targeting
folks like myself that might not have every skillset on their wishlist
but in the end do offer the ability to learn it quickly based on
knowledge sets aquired on older technologies. But there does seem to be
a barrier (of sorts) that prevents some local HR types from hiring folks
that gained valueable experience and skillsets at some point but did not
formalize the qualifications.

Personally, this listing was okay for the most part, but the aspect of
being called a jr linux admin after meeting the requirements for a
degree and some experience would then be hard to wrap my head around ...
just repeat this to yerself to see how it fits and you get my point:
"Wahoo! I just got the jr linux admin position! I'm going to
Disneyland!". Makes me wonder if that line (for education) in the
original posting is a true (tempted to type truely) req or just a wish.
