Well, if you read the fine print it's not a requisite.
I'd wonder more about specifying "Experience with CAD for circuit board
design and schematic capture" as required. I would have thought that
would be a smaller part of the overall job, and somebody with the more
pertinent technical abilities could be be anticipated to pick up such
an ability without much difficulty.
I'd think about applying but I don't have experience with Microsoft
Office (requisite).
Realistically, I expect they are pretty flexible and are going to be
looking at the overall person, their background, and competence.
We're hiring. ?The brief job description:
Vulcan Inc. ?- Seattle, WA
Living Computer Museum
One question: this is all old stuff, experience is 100% a necessity.
Why a batchelors? What does earning a degree gain you in the field of
vintage computing, particularly this field that you needed to have
been there to have seen it in the first place?
Reason I'm asking is this. I have an awful lot of friends with
(modern) computing related degrees who can't get jobs because, wait
for it, they don't have experience. Duh.
Granted this is the UK, US might be different, but why the need for a
piece of paper?
Just askin'
