You have to realize that the majority of job openings are never
advertised, they are obtained through contacts, friends, and
perserverance.  Don't look at the paper and extrapolate that all the
jobs available are the same.

The jobs that are advertised are IMHO generally ones that are hard to
fill or no-one wants them.  In some cases the employer is asking too much
(20 years experience in D, C++ and Hyperspace control systems ;-) that
no-one could ever qualify for.

These opinions are mine and not necessarily those of my employer.
