I had one today that barely understood the job he was recruiting for. Received the typical job description, but this one had a very specific list of requiements:

What you need for this position: Required: BS Electrical Engineering 3+ years vehicle radio requency electronic circuits Handle EMF and EMC requirements Knowledge of Design APQP requirements (e.g. DFMEA, DVP&R)

And so on...

I don't have some of these, and I'm not interested in the position as a whole due to location, work type, and not really interested in going back into the RF world. So I simply say "I don't have any of these requirements you client wants."

Pajeet argued with me that the client really doesn't want those, they just want RF skills, PCB design for RF, and "Aerospace Industry." Would not deviate from that. I have to wonder, is his "client" going to even look at a resume that doesn't have the skills they "require?" How do these places stay in business? Is it just sheer volume? I know what their client does and who it is, they are most certainly going to want what's on that list and more because it's their bread and butter.

Nothing, and there's a lot of money to be made there if you want to get into RF technologies. I simply don't have any interest in it because it never really interested me when I was in it, and it's changed so much that what I worked on 30 years ago and what is the current technology level are so different that it's really a different animal.

It's just a personal thing for me. I have other interests.
