"Looking for developers with at least TEN years of experience in .NET Frameworks [sic].."
-
Aside from the folks already working at Microsoft, have you ever run into any job postings that actually demand that you have more years of experience working in some framework than the number of years the said framework (e.g., .NET) has actually existed? They always seem to crack me up. :)

Has always been the same: agents or recruiters with little or no technical knowledge and no understanding of the requirement that's been set. This usually indicates a recruitment tyro whose work is not being supervised by a more senior person. For instance, my present agent has a reasonable understanding so doesn't make these schoolboy errors.

I've never gotten anything more than "2-3 years" or "3+ years" THIS IS THE REAL LECKEY. [edit] Imagine my horror this morning to look back a few pages in the Lounge and see my name with a bunch of "Message Removed." Turns out Josh/pimpdog/CataclysmicIdiot/HoldOnLetMeThink decided to change his name to mine. I have not done sh*t to him recently but apparently he got into the cough syrup last night and decided to take out vengence on me. Some people said some nasty things back to me in the SB thinking it really was me. (ie. "Why don't you celebrate getting fired again.") I am beyond pissed right now. Since I haven't read SB recently this apparently was a jab at Josh, not me. I took it wrong--my apologies. He (Josh) recently whined about why does all his posts get voted down and I actually wrote a nice post saying even though we did not get along, if he woul make a real effort to not call people names and act like a child, he could maybe reintroduce himself into the CP community. No response, old behavior. So if his account has not been disabled or "fixed" I want people to make sure they are responding to the real leckey. Just check my profile and you can tell which is which. [/edit]
Until Josh's account gets "fixed" and can no longer use my name, use caution before responding to me. http://craptasticnation.blogspot.com/[^]

I'll probably find this funnier later once 1. I calm down. 2. The caffeine kicks in. Freaking Wednesdays!!

Both of them were short-term contract positions each offering $30 US for about 3 months. I never really replied.

Actually, no. The concept of Joshua having lost his job has been a topic of conversation on and off in SB for the last few days. (He was posting (as "pimpdog" and "hold on wait a...") during the period of time he used to be at work.) Whoever made the post that offended you knew very well that he was talking to Heinze.

You can't mean US $30.00/hour for someone with 10 years experience in anything.

C#, they also wanted 15 years overall experience as a software developer. Some people really are clueless. If I felt up to lying on my résumé I could make a fortune. As it stands my honesty has to compete with the lies of others.

Ah. :) I was joking, btw. $30 US for three months sounds about right for some RentACoder projects (I know you meant $30 per hour, but I couldn't resist the joke).

Other thing in Chennai is that Human Resource personnel and recruitment consultants blatantly make use of the word 'We would get back to you' for candidates who are typically fresh grads even if they have already have some one for their posts. Why can not they politely regret with a reason so that the candidate would be preparing for the next interview in more confidence. When would those fucking assholes learn and understand the correct etiquette of professional liasoning with candidates?

I remember about 2 years ago seeing a recruiter looking for someone with at least 10 years c# experience. I rang him out of curiousity and asked how many people he was getting that met the criteria and he said quite a few. I pointed out that c# as a working language was only around for about 5 years and he went quiet ...

Jeff Atwood had a good blog on this a few months back. This is known as the Years of Experience Myth[^. Aside from showing how ignorant of the technology the recruiter and/or manager is, this also shows the company doesn't really understand programming or programmers:
"It's been shown time and time again that there is no correlation between years of experience and skill in programming. After about six to twelve months working in any particular technology stack, you either get it or you don't."
