It’s not really lying if you believe that these requirements are an error. Then you are correcting their error.
Perhaps instead of saying that you have experience in a field, say you have equivalent experience.
Well, I want to work in the hardware industry rather than the software industry, so I probably won’t have the problem of needing to have experience in multiple languages, even though they’re not too dificult to learn. But computer hardware seems to change more quickly than software does. I may end up changing my major on down the line to be an electrical engineer or something, but last I heard, that industry wasn’t doing very well either.
True, but it still doesn’t hurt to try…I’ve been prospects are fair for Engineers (extremely good for Software Engineers and Environmental Engineers). Actually, depending on what I do (analyze, design, management) I wouldn’t need capital as much as the folks in testing. That being said, if the government would stay the fuck out of science funding, crowding out private funding and abolish regulation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_PVI6V6o-4 explains the myth of science as a public good), I’m sure me and LadyAttis would have a much easier time finding work in our fields.
It would help if the government would just stay out and let the goddamn recession run its course…
