- Hold on there... Requiring canidates to walk in through the door pre-packed with
- certain skills and qualifications, especially in a technical position, is hardly too
- much to ask. Why don't hospitals hire doctors who never even entered medical
- school? We must we hire techinical people who have no training? Why? Is is it
- too much to ask for in your eyes? I think your opinion is a mistake. Sure, let the
- canidate speak for him/herself. The fact that they didn't go to school speaks
- volumes. Ability is nice, and if thats demonstrable thats often enough. But to get
- the ability requires at least experience, and if some one has neither experience
- nor proper training, asking employers to go on faith is a bit much.
