Someone sent me an email about a full-time webdesign position for a company in my area. The job requirements made me laugh. It almost sounds like a dude looked up every web technology he could find and pasted it into the skills requirements.

applications and web development technologies: Microsoft SQL
Server 2000, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft IIS 5/6,
Microsoft SMTP Service, Microsoft .NET Framework, Macromedia
Dreamweaver MX/Studio, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
ASP, ASP.NET, VBScript, javascript, HTML, DHTML, VB, C#,
Stored Procedures, CSS, XML, XML web services, and SOAP.
Excellent written and oral communications skills.
Desired Skills:
Working knowledge of Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Server,
Microsoft IIS 6, Apache, J2EE, JSP, Adobe Image Ready, and
Coldfusion. Knowledge of USAF maintenance actions and

or related field, with an academic emphasis on web
development and graphics design technologies or software
development preferred. An active Secret security clearance is

I have seen a bunch of these lately on careerbuilder. They employer just asks for everything they can think of.
