                    Core skills required: Fx AND Forex
                    We have no idea that these are the same things, apparently our client does not either but they are a hightly sought after investment bank at the cutting edge of 20 year old legacy systems.

                    Core skills required:
                    C++, C#, WPF, WCF, .NET, Java, C, TFS, Windows, Linux, Unix, Mainframe, UFOs, MFI, Scripting languages (all), OOD, OOM, FFS, whatever else you have heard of but one version newer.

                    ... actually I don't know. I have no idea what rationale agents have for requirment lists like this.
