I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.

"expert knowledge in NT, FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Java, C#, Active Directory, Windows Server, Fortinet". Uh huh. Just be an expert at everything, I see.

Then you do the interview and they want like 2 of those things and less experience is fine. 🙄

    A job I'm interviewing for now asked me if I had experience with libvirt, qemu,and KVM.

    (For those not in the know, libvirt is a wrapper around qemu, KVM is the name of the technology, so if you have experience with one or both of the first two, you definitely have experience with the last one).

    This is my first interview after 3 months of applying (not every day, mind you, I've probably applied to like 300 jobs though). I have another one in the next few days as well, for another company.

    LinkedIn Premium does actually seem to help, compared to sites like Dice. Good luck out there, it's pretty rough right now.
