So I'm not really happy with my job, and I was looking around on monster and one of the jobs posted that looked interesting had the following requirement.


SQL server administrator:
-Must have 5 years SQL 2005 or 2008 experience
Now, SQL 2005 came OUT in 2005 (or actually at the very end of 2004) So it's physically impossible for someone to have 5 years experience with either of those 2 things.

Never mind that nobody actually implemented it until 2006 for any real applications. I find these recruiters amusing.

    You should apply and tell them that you have 10 years experience with SQL 2008.

    LOL! I just found another one, same thing. It's probably the same recruiter doing their search.
