| Sep 10, 2015 at 19:25 | comment | added | shoover | Newsflash: actual work as a Java developer involves technologies other than just Java. | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 12:40 | comment | added | David K | Possible duplicate: Actual work is different than expected | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 12:37 | comment | added | David K | Is the issue that you are doing Java and have to do these other things too, or that you are not doing any Java and are doing these other things instead? | |

| Sep 10, 2015 at 10:11 | comment | added | Brandin | So it sounds like your real question/issue is a sort of job dissatisfaction ("not evolving as a Java developer"). | |

| Sep 10, 2015 at 9:08 | comment | added | giannis christofakis | @Brandin I applied for this role cause I want to evolve as a Java developer, which I am not going to, if I'm dealing with other stuff. And my main consideration is why they tested me on Java skills, (polymorphism, classes, threads etc) if it is not needed for the particular job. | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 8:57 | comment | added | Brandin | Do you feel unfit to do the job because of you're unfamiliarity with those tools (Bash, Docker, CVS, etc)? I would think these sorts of tools can reasonably be learned on the job if you're already familiar with something else (e.g. a different shell or different version control tool). | |

| Sep 10, 2015 at 8:43 | comment | added | giannis christofakis | Hi @Brandin, I mean the role was for a Java developer and I end up needing other skills, like bash scripting,docker,cvs etc without writing any Java code. If you are acquainted with IT programming terms. Nevertheless I might be mistaken, that why I'm asking. | |
| Sep 10, 2015 at 8:37 | comment | added | Brandin | "Even I had applied for a specific job role, I end up needing irrelevant skills in order to be able to accomplish my tasks." - What do you mean by irrelevant skills? If you need a skill to do your job, then the skill is relevant, I would say. | |
