They will find you. If they were looking for a CCNA and your resume only
had CCNP on it, would you want that job? Probably not. Conversely, if you
have CCNA on your resume and they are looking for CCNP level candidates, you
would not qualify. Either way both parties are saved the time and hassle of
lining up inappropriate solutions to problems.
If you think "well, perhaps the recruiter made a mistake listing this job
requirements" you may be right but it is probably rare. Most companies know
what they are looking for and how to explain to the recruiter what the job
description entails, and they check it for accuracy before it gets posted
publicly.
Are there horror stories and genuine mistakes, of course, but don't waste
your time preparing for them.
