Many here are thinking this. I shall say it. Jerks. Plane and simple their are many jerks in the business world. Also things are pretty out of kilter. I don't make it a secret that I am challenged when it comes to those litttle slips of paper. I don't know how many job postings I've seen that'll litterally say 'must know view.just vers 0.4 PHP v 5.6 python 3, Java VM, JavaDM, MongoDB, and have head for drawing and sketching, be energetic and have a zest for life.' (In my head ....) I 've been turned down many times simply because I am not physically located in the city the place is. Even though it's webyweb work much of wich can be done by TeleComute. Perhaps others have a different view ^_^
