#174933 - Do employers know what they are asking for?
I had an interesting call the other day from an agency who had seen my C.V on-line from ages ago, they were looking for someone who could do embedded design, high speed logic, FPGA, VHDL all the rest of it, plus analogue design skills, power electronics design skills,C++ aplication development and the ability to fly and leap over tall buildings in a single bound from the sound of it.
I don't know who they thought they were looking for, but I told them I was happily working for less demanding employers if superman is reading this and looking for a job drop me a line I'll put you in touch with them.
