Bet Bob has all these skills and they are current too.

I'm glad I don't have to put up with this stuff no more.

Now if you ant a really good job advert...

Check out the precision of the skills, the nature of the work (how many industry sectors use back office operations in life and pensions anyway?), the obviously so-not-made-up reference number...

Clearly a professional agency of the highest calibre. Avoid...

Would you be using Agile and SSADM at the same time? RAD as well? Looks like a list of headings from a Dummies guide to programming paragims.

What is surprising is thatt they have not qualified any of these so called 'skills' with a time parameter. Usually we see '...must have min of 2 years in .BLOG...' or whatever as if any two developers with the same years experience were interchangeable. In fact there is a HUGE variation between individual programmers but the job ads and interviews never seem to search for this vital fact. Strange but true is it not?
