RE: Is it
It depends on the position... I own a systems
consulting company with a number of decent sized
clients and have seen all too often people coming into
positions they are not qualified for. Sure they may
have a degree or two and had previous employers that
don't know any better where they got away with god
knows what .. but when it comes down to it many cannot
get past their textbook knowledge and apply it where
it really means something. IMHO i think as many as
2/3's of the so called "IT" proffesionals out there
are actually just window dressing. Hired by HR
departments just looking for people to fog a mirror.
