Here's the result of a jobspec work asked me for a while back.
I've since come across people all over the place that have seen/heard of this ad LOL!
I like the "MCSE need not apply". I used to think the MCSE was top dog in the late 1990's. Since doing my degree I have realised how pointless software proficiency certifications are from a learning perspective, a book or README is equally as useful.
I must confess that I do not like the prospect of trying to convince an employer I know what I am talking about after I graduate. Jobs are so much harder to come by now the dot com bubble has burst. I used to have a half dozen agencies ringing me per week in the late 1990's offering me support jobs, the funny thing was that I did not even know how TCPIP worked and I still got a £25k per year support job. That was a lot of cash to a 20 year old with no outgoings or a degree.
Law firms have more cash than they know what to do with, which explains my past employment luck!.
