I think a lot of hiring managers don't understand how this can be a bait-and-switch. If you say the job requires programming, they expect to get programming experience. If you say the programming job requires C++, they expect to get C++ experience. If you say the job requires initiative, they expect to get initiative experience. Fail to deliver on those, and it's not the same job anymore. Not just a bad version of the job. A completely different job.
