There is quite a range of technologies so I would consider which parts are a necessity. I would be a very good candidate for most of this, but have only ever heard of Fortran and Ingres and wouldn't have a clue. I would imagine there would be a lot of people in my position who are solid ASP/VB6/COM+/SQL Server developers without Alpha VMS with Fortran and Ingres II, which frankly sounds pretty scary. I think you would want strong ASP.NET/VB.NET/C# skills. C# will help with the programming knowledge, VB.NET/ASP.NET with the ASP. (ALthough ASP DEvelopment is a skill in itself because of its oddities) All the best!

I agree, it depends on the context. You can tell people to mention "buzzwords" in an interview to achieve better results at the same time as feeling important that you used the word buzzword. In reality these are all cliche buzzwords.

I always heard "There are no problems - only solutions" :wtf:
