C’mon. HR doesn’t have a clue of what they’re asking for. Anyone with a little of experience in the IT industry knows that: 1. You’ll need to put whatever is needed in your CV to pass through HR 2. You can explain yourself to the actual tech people who interview you in the next stage. For example, if you know Ruby and RoR, but there’s an excellent opportunity to work in a cool product for a company that does Python and Django, well, apply! Obviously you’ll spend a couple of days with Python and Django and notice the similarities and differences with Ruby and RoR. You will add to your CV the keywords Python and Django and you’ll get pass HR (if HR asks you about your experience with such tech stack you can always say that, indeed, I have plenty of experience with MVC web frameworks and blah blah blah). When you pass to the next stage of the interview and get to talk to real engineers, then you can explain that you have many years of experience working with RoR and that learning Django will be a pleasure.
