You are absolutely right. For my current client I had to pick up C# very quick. Before that I had only created a couple of "toy programs" to play with the language. But I already knew a lot of the concepts behind C#: Inheritance, delegates, properties, lamda expressions, ... so learning the new language was really easy and I completed the first programming tasks within the first week.
Unfortunately some recruiting agents only do simple pattern matching and they won't forward you CV to a client when you do not have $language_name skills :(
- Xurinos 15y agoI noticed this, too, about recruiting agencies. Funny thing was when they were looking for 10 years of experience in C# before it was 6 years old. I have heard a small legitimate argument for strong familiarity with specific tools: although you may know how to program very well, you may not be familiar with C# libraries, and that can mean implementing code already available in a canonical way. But meh.
