Well, I've seen one which is for a *Junior* programmer, they list the Ada83 as a requirement as well as having security clearance AND experience of Rational Apex. That makes me think they're not looking for a junior at all. A junior (to me) would be someone with no experience, who can get SC and can learn Apex/Ada83 (who uses 83 anyway?) > As near as I can tell half the places doing embedded work put XP/Visual C++ > in their ads just because they think > that is what people want to see. Why put it there then? Surely they're not doing their jobs properly by putting that? But it's not like you can find jobs anywhere else because all programming jobs are through agencies, FFS. Agencies are a joke! Luke.
