And there's the problem.

Contract uses Ada and you never have?  Don't waste time
applying because you'll never get past the HR guy whose
ony clue about Ada is that it's not on your r�sum�.

Same goes for Java, C++, APL, Fortran, C#, ....

Your r�sum� might show that you have learned and applied
ten languages and ten development environments in twenty
years, but if you aren't already experienced at _their_
current fad, you're out.

I saw one ad that _required_ "two years experience in C#
or one year each at at least two jobs."  This was when
C# was less than three years old!
