Help Wanted: ASP.NET Experience Not Considered
One way to make sure you're current in your developer skills is to surf the job sites. I'm very happy with my current position but I know I need to keep my skills current and marketable so every once in a while I surf the job boards and see what technologies are in hot demand. If I'm unfamiliar with a skill or technology, I make an effort to get on it.
Usually doing this results in no shockers but I just found a recent exception. One local company is seeking a Principal Software Engineer with strong C# experience in .NET 1.1 and 2.0. Then the ad goes on to state, "Please Note: ASP.NET experience not considered". What?!? How can this be? An ASP.NET developer doesn't need to know .NET code?
