#174939 - Better to just ask for any additional skills Responding to: ???'s previous message |
It would be so much simpler of the company says: "We need someone with serious experience of VHDL, ..." and then continue to mention that "we also work with power electronics, ... so please mention what other skills you have that you could potentially help us with".
Most of the time, an experienced developer can supply a lot of new ideas to work areas he wasn't employed to work with. It is always good to take advantage of the combined skills of the staff. But it is stupid to assume that a single guy should be seriously knowledgeable in all aspects of a business. |
