Yeah, I just applied for a job in Germany where I tick 90% of the boxes. Yet the one box I didn't have they immediately excluded me on, even if it was skills I could learn easily given my previous experience.
That job has been open for almost a year now, I wonder why.
- majewsky 9y agoNot every employer is like that. When I started at my first developer job, I only had a degree in physics. (I've since completed a part-time B.Sc. in CS.) They hired me because of my open-source portfolio. Now I'm at SAP, which according to a common joke is an abbreviation for "Sammelplatz arbeitsloser Physiker" (assembly area for unemployed physicists), and one of my friends from university (with a doctorate in laser physics) now also works as an SAP consultant.
