The work for Emdeon all involved batch-processing of large volumes of data.  I 
have also done interactive applications on previous jobs, and a small amount of 
web development.  My experience is application or support-library level, rather 
than operating-system level.

One other question, what kind of development were you doing?
 If it was web, then as cheesy as it sounds, go get a facebook, twitter, yahoo, 
and maybe foursquare account now-- for development purposes and they are all 
free.

Employers are insane about knowing Facebook API.  
 You can learn the api in an afternoon over coffee/tea/ your_favorite_bev. 
Also, I forgot to ask about JavaScript? How is that department coming along?
Everything seems to use Javascript these days. jQuery seems to dominate 
Javascript.
 Also, server side javascript has picked up fairly well too with node.js. 

If you were a systems guy, then you can largely ignore all the above 
information.
