All the jobs that are available all want 1-3 years of .NET experience. This is rediculious.


Welcome to the world of IT recruitment. It will always be this way. Consequently there will always be "skills shortages." (Though in this particular case companies can find plenty of people who meet this spec.)

Is it some kind of way to keep the old guys out of the market.


To some extent. For example, occasionally you will see jobs advertised that are more relaxed in their skills requirements and perhaps offer cross-training. But the salaries will be low and/or they will be aimed at graduates with a few years' general commercial experience.

Basically, in this industry I've discovered that the older you get the more important it is to acquire commercial experience in the latest skills, whether you want to or not.

Does anyone know how to break thru the gate, get pass the palace guard? I have read a good number of books on the subject. Loaded up MS .NET Framework on my PC. And written a few programs/systems.


Just keep on doing what you are doing. Also try applying it to a web site or something and then put it on your Resume. Eventually someone will give you a chance. I've been where you are (and I'm an "older guy" too)Smile | :) . It's frustrating but hang in there.
