Junior Developer of Infinite Knowledge and Power

I’ve posted about this before, but it always gets to me. As a grad students, I see a lot of job postings. After a while, you see a couple of these postings looking for a student with the following skillset:

Requirements:

• Experience developing in Java or C++
• Thorough knowledge of JavaScript, AJAX, AJAX Frameworks, and DOM technologies
• HTML and CSS
• MS SQL Server, ORACLE, or related RDBMS
• Excellent organizational and communication skills
• High-degree of creativity and strong analytical mindset
• Pursuing BS or MS degree in computer science, engineering or similar technical field

Preferred:

• PHP/Zend Framework, JSP, ASP.net
• XML/XSLT experience
• Experience creating web services
• Linux/Unix environment proficiency
• UML knowledge
• Experience with Java frameworks, including Struts, Spring, and Hibernate

I can do these things, but I also have about 5 years of work experience in addition to my degree. Hey, half of this stuff isn’t even taught at school. I which them best of luck finding their magical bachelor student :-)
