May 31, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | rath | @Brandon That's a valid assumption. The ones I'm complaining about probably do not (research shows) but want a "jack of all trades", overshoot and settle with someone overqualified, who ends up connecting LAN cables and troubleshooting MS Word for the rest of his days. Sadly the economy in the country I come from makes this a viable strategy. | |

May 30, 2014 at 23:00 | comment | added | rath | I always had that impression of how job ads were written. I've seen openings that ask for PHP and Apache, as well as IIS and Asp.NET. It's obvious that the person who wrote the post has no idea about technical stuff, and has made me reluctant to submit my CV to them as I didn't take them seriously. +1 for pointing out the boilerplate buzzword-list factor. | |
