Required skills lists make me laugh.
If you even hint that you might not have 10/10 super expert skills on everything on the crazily unrealistic list then you don't get past the agent.
When you get the job you realise 90% of the skills aren't required and that nobody else at the gig knows how to do any of that stuff either. So what they want is someone who has loads of experience with the latest brand new technologies - but is really looking not to use that stuff in their new role.
My last place they advertised for a similar position and literally lifted the skills section of my CV as the requirements. Clowns. 75% of that wasn't required for the role and was very niche.
