Position postings

[Alex Fayle]

     I may be a bit jaded and cynical, but I can't believe that everyone 
     follows the rules of job description requirements. If that were the 
     case, then I wouldn't have applied for the job I'm currently 
     interviewing for.
     
     It's a Webmaster position and they've asked for a communications or 
     journalism degree, and publishing or techical writing experience. I 
     have none of those qualifications, but I've applied for and gotten an 
     interview for the job. Why? Because of my skills and my ability to 
     convince the hirers that what they suggested they are looking for is 
     actually not what they need.
     
     How many people in management /really/ understand the needs of 
     networks / the Internet? Few probably. I feel that job requirements 
     are merely guidelines and can be ignored when necessary.
     
     (Ahh, nothing better than starting the day with a nice rant.)
