Translating recruiters
-
"API development experience in .NET" refers to the ability to create an API in .NET that will be consumed by a third-party
Tom Archer (blog) Program Manager - Windows SDK Headers, Libraries & Tools MICROSOFT
Yeah, that's the reality of the matter, but is it indeed an accurate translation from Recruiter to English? :-D

Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

Yeah, but probably big enough for bait. I hear the fish are really large out there. :-D

You will call the recruiter and get back to us, right? :)

At least I didn't call them the usual name of "Rat on Wheels", don't ask me why we call them that, we've just always done so. Besides a dog serves a purpose (based on that assumption then a Chihuaha is a cat :suss:), the only thing Rats on Wheels could do is be eaten but they're even too small for that.
As of how to accomplish this I wouldn't have a clue at the moment and I'm too lazy to google it

A recruiting company sent me an email this morning about a programming job, specifying that the position required "API Development experience in .NET". Before deleting it, my curiosity was piqued. Since I don't have my Recruiter to English guide handy, I thought I'd ask the experts here how they would interpret such a phrase. At first I thought they were talking about accessing the Windows SDK via .NET (bad unmanaged programer - bad, BAD, unmanaged programmer!), then I thought no, they want someone who can sling C# / VB.NET code using the framework, after which I discarded both ideas in favor of them wanting me to write an API to something using .NET. Anyone want to take a swing at translating this? :-D

I have to stand up for my profession here and tell you all that it isn't the recrutier that comes up with these non-sensical requirements. I am a technical recruiter (I know, a traiter in our midst!) and I have asked people if they have "API Development experience" and I have no clue what that indicates either. It is something that comes out from the hiring company, usually written by the hiring manager. I interpret it as working with .Net to develop a tool that requires an API to be written to accompany it but all of you are more technical than I and if anyone can give me a better interpretation all the better. Go easy on us recruiters. We're just trying to get you jobs! Kevin Johnstone

Why would you say such a thing? In my opinion, recruiters are the good guys! :-D Like any profession, however, some work harder than others to understand and meet the needs of their clientele. I'm sure you've met both.

Very true. You always need to make sure you are looking out for your best interests. Remember, recruiters are commissioned employees and that can attract some bad apples. I only meant that I'm a traiter in that I'm not a programmer. Just a tech nerd!:cool:

Prior to programming, I spent a decade in sales, teaching commissioned salespeople how to more effectively make a living, so I'm reasonably familiar with the creature from both angles. :-D And hey, a techie is a techie!
