    So I had to post this job description I got via email today for a SQL Server DBA position:

    Qualified candidates will possess programming skills, such as skill in the use of HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, and image editing software. Other qualifications required for this position includes extensive knowledge of web-browser platforms; knowledge of optimizing content for mobile devices; experience with testing mobile websites on multiple devices. In addition, the following skills and abilities are critical to success in this position: exceptional written and verbal communication skills; the ability to consult and interact with a diverse client base; the ability to present technical information to end-users; the ability to work independently and as part of a team; and organizational and task management skills.

    Design: Web Technical Design

    Strong technical knowledge of how web-based technologies apply to web design

    General Competencies

    Excellent Communication Skills

    Excellent oral and written communication skills

    Information Technology - Languages/Tools

    HTML / XML / XSLT / CSS

    Information Technology - Network/Infrastructure

    Wireless - Mobile

    Information Technology - Requirements

    Experience in creating concise, cross-browser compliant cascading stylesheets (CSS)

    Information Technology - System Monitoring/Automation

    Java Script and HTML

    Information Technology - Testing

    Ability to perform testing of applications, facilitate testing by others, document results

    Really the job title is SQL Server DBA. I don't have any of the technology bits on my resume.

    IMO this is a clear minsomen: it should be Web Application Developer in Test, although that "testing of applications" is really wide.

  • By those standards, I don't qualify either.

    Oh come on! I'm sure you have some skills in "Information Technology - Languages/Tools", since that pretty much covers everything ever done in the world of IT. Anything they missed on that, they covered with "Information Technology - Requirements", or "Information Technology - System Monitoring/Automation". Just to really make sure their shotgun was blazing away on full-auto, it does also have "General Competencies" as a requirement.

    Of course, those are probably sub-headers in a list, but did they come through that way to you?

    That's just screaming someone hit the wrong dropdown option for title... but seriously, don't they do skillset matching anymore for email dumps?

  • Newbie with a master database corruption here.

    They're not being quick on the responses, I want to make sure someone doesn't send him off to rebuild it if it's just a security failure to the database directory if he ever gets back to us, so if one or two of y'all can just check on it to make sure someone doesn't lead him astray after I split for the day it'll be appreciated.

    Meaning, what the heck does SQLS2012 have to do with HTML5 or Ajax?

    *dies laughing* Oh, this was perfect. Yesterday morning, I had to settle down one of our managers who thought that the solution to our internet link between corporate and our co-lo facility was to park "an IT person" in the corporate office every weekend.

    Fortunately, I work with folks who listen...
