If it's just a programming language thing, those are easy to ramp up on, within weeks or months. Every job that I've had so far has involved a lot of extra learning. Even in the cases that I already knew the development language, there's been a large preexisting codebase, essentially providing its own in-house-built framework. The next position that I'm waiting for a written job offer for: I don't know the language, haven't ever developed on the OS, and I'll be looking at 15 years of legacy code. It sounds like an exciting opportunity to expand my knowledge on someone else's time and do something I haven't done before. Granted, I never would've applied on my own; they contacted me through LinkedIn. But that kind of thing is how I expect I'll find all my work in the foreseeable future.
