New Re: Stop poncing about and apply for the damn job
Repeat - I have no control over it. It's in the hands of the recruiter. "Show me three year's enterprise Linux experience on your resume..." There is no logic or sense to it. They are asking for experience that is impossible to have on an operating system that was never officially released.

New Send it anyway....
Since you're not dealing directly with the company, you can explain everything to the recruiter, who ask client for verification.

Send it. Worse case, it get rejected.

the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever."

New Bang head on floor
I've **tried** to get her to tell me who this is for etc. She won't do it. "SHE". She doesn't bloody understand what she's recruiting for. She sideways suggested I lie on my resume.

New Tell her she can
make 'appropriate' changes to the resume.

Then, if you get far enough to talk with someone that knows better, you can tell them that SHE changed the resume.

It sucks to be reduced to headhunter morality, but -
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
