We've all seen job postings with statements like, "Must meet all requirements below to be considered. Otherwise, don't waste our time by applying." What follows is invariably a list of required experience that would elude even the most energetic and accomplished centenarian. Usually the list includes a long string of ill-considered, mutually incompatible skill sets and temperaments. Statements like, "Must have a successful record as a sales hunter, a seller of large-scale software solutions to senior executives and a J2EE programmer, with a minimum of 25 years of experience," seem all too common.
I imagine some junior HR person fresh out of college sitting in a windowless cubicle sifting through piles of resumes. "Hmm. Here's one. Oops. Only 24 years of Java. Reject. Next. Steve Jobs; that name sounds familiar. Oh, didn't finish college. Next."
