Hmm. I hadn't thought about 'no learning on the job' as 'this will stall my career development'. You make a really good point. There is a certain area between 'you don't have the skills needed to become useful' and 'you can pick these up in short time' - but I think I have been looking at this wrong another way. I do apply to positions I feel I'm unqualified for (within reason), but it's also ridiculous for me to think companies expect all-knowing engineers. Any other trade would have a worker learning new skills on the job. My resume does change fairly often - I had an interview a couple weeks ago where I was a little embarrassed because I went in with my current version and they pulled out the resume I had from 5 months ago. I was like, 'er... may I see that?' On a side-note I think wining and dining potential employers is a fabulous idea, even friends for interview practice. Thank you for your feedback <3
