A position I have applied for lists two criteria for previous experience.
The main criteria, although I haven't done it, in my opinion is a peice of pee. It is to interface some standard test equipment using a standard comms protocol to a peice of software which I have used intensively. Now although I haven't used the method they have stated I have achieved the same thing another way using a slightly different method, and have told them this.
The second criteria I am experienced in - well for the last five years anyhoo if that counts.
Should I have just lied and told them I have experience of this using the method they require as I really don't see it being that difficult and could have swotted up relatively quickly and put it into practice before I was to start.
Before I am flamed I always try to be honest when applying for jobs, but just wanted to get to get a general consensus.
I tell you what - i'll even do a poll.
