Skills shortage? Wot skills shortage?

I know the NPfIT jobs cannot be obtained because they all require existing NHS experience, but this one is special:

"Release and Problem Manager - NHS"
"... will involve ... working with Summary Care Record Suppliers ... experience of working within NHS ... working with the Summary Care Records Project ..."

Not just NHS experience, not just NPfIT experience, but specifically Summary Care Records Project experience!

Why don't they specify the bugger's name too and be done with it?

"Project Manager"
"... Candidates must have extensive experience in: Recent Utilities experience with knowledge of managing changes to billing applications ... All of the above skils are essential and candidates who have not clearly evidenced this within their CV will not be considered for this role."

Once again, project-specific experience but at least within an industry sector. There must easily be three people in the country eligible to apply. For a project that thousands could do.

So, yes I have recent utilities experience, yes I have billing experience, no the billing wasn't in utilities. Oh, bye, then.

I have no decent experience in anything. My CV is mostly lies. Don't know how I've got away with it this long.
