I have been searching for a new job lately and cruising the different websites.
I am amazed by the job description requirements. They all want an impossible number of languages, etc. that any one person could have.
Have you seen anything like that?
oh well
|
|
|
|
|
Oh yeah, all the time.
They also say they want a "senior" developer in every single ad, even if the job doesn't require one.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Manager: I want a junior developer with at least six months experience of Java or C#.
Recruitment agent: OK, this job requires a developer with at least 5 years experience of C++ in embedded systems. Oh, what was that language I was reading about the other day, some snake type? Oh yes, practical experience in BoaConstictor also an advantage.

The language is Snake, and you instantiate an object by calling its BoaConstructor.

This is exactly what happens. I remember seeing a job posting for a senior dotNet developer back in 2002. They wanted 5 years of dotNet experience on a system that had only be available, even in beta, for less than a year.

|
|
Oh yes. They want a laundry list of skill sets. Such an expertise exists only in ...
Superman. 😀

All the time.
They often say as well that the company is a "dynamic, young, environment" - code for "those over 25 need not apply."
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

And, if the position has the least thing to do with web development you will certainly need to be a "full stack" developer.

Which invokes an entirely different connotation of the term "full stack". And quite possibly more accurate.

Yes. For my previous job the list of requirements were quite long and included several technologies / platforms I hadn't worked with before. They are quite niche though, so they hire new people and allow then to learn the new tech. I think most reasonable companies would do this.
Even for my most recent job that I started this month the list of requirements were quite long, even though I only use a subset of it. It seems the company wants people to have the extra skills just in case they are required. It can scare away potential candidates though. But I think you could probably still apply and tell them you are willing to learn new skills, languages, etc.
