On the ladder of corporate acceptance, few achievements rank higher than to bestowed the honor of becoming a bullet point on the recruiting check list. Today, my friends, it happened in an application for a "IT Architect":
Should have ideally 5 years experience with all of the latest and greatest tools out there. The more the better. J2EE, struts, Ruby on Rails, Websphere, etc. Should have experience constructing Enterprise wide Java solutions from whitepapers.
This is so good that I have to repeat it: Should have experience constructing Enterprise wide Java solutions from whitepapers.
Rails has truly broken through the awareness barrier when its included as part of a job application that's the antithesis of everything Rails is about. Clueless recruiters of the world, I salute you!
