    Hands down, this has to be the most hilarious computer article I’ve seen in a long time. Just look at the number one asked for qualification. If you really want a laugh, read the text of the article, and especially the first of the three big takeaways at the end of the article :laugh: Study of IT job postings on Indeed reveals trends important for all tech professionals[^] Ya, this was in today's CodeProject daily news.

    We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

      Awesome! Customer service is over twice as important as attention to detail. So: it doesn't have to work - you just have to be really good at convincing them that this is normal. Maybe next time they need to breakdown "IT" into smaller bits that author can chew on. That's like saying "Qualifications mentioned in Construction" and having a list like - Draftsmanship - Excavation - Capital fund raising - Truck maintenance - Metallurgy - Dirt - Building things

      cheers Chris Maunder

          Sadly, this is true. When I last hired a help desk support person, my manager was adamant that was the main criteria. If they didn't know the answer they could easily pass it to the next level, but a customer would feel good with the good PR and not notice nothing got fixed! Luckily for me the person I hired had both skills.

            So what you're saying is I should be focusing on a job in Customer Service.

              Sorry to be pedantic, but that one got me

              If you're not familiar with programming API interfaces it's time to learn: it's by far the most highly sought skill from Indeed job posters.

              If you're not familiar with acronyms it' time to learn... or at least look them up :doh:

                  All I get from that story is that Igloo is looking for PR. The article is fluff.
