[Cialug] Linux Job Posting

[Tim Champion]

Back in the 1997 - when I was looking a lot for a job, I saw "5 years
experience with Windows 95"

er - huh?

Stupid stuff like that makes people skip over the job.  I love seeing things
that ask for 5-10 years of professional experience in MySQL.  I'm not saying
that MySQL hasn't been around that long, it has.   But, the number of people
using it in a professional environment for that long is about 0.

When are recruiters going to learn.  :(
