Ha! To add: Interviewer#3: We are looking for someone who knows how operate the navigation screen on the 2010 Escort. Applicant: My car does not have the navigation option installed. Interviewer: Then you do not qualify. Knowing how to work the navigation system is a priority. Applicant: I know how to work navigation systems in general. My car before this one had a navigation system and I learned it pretty quickly. Interviewer#3: No. We need people with 10 years of experience with the actual navigation system on the 2010 Escort. Note: Ford no longer sells the Escort in the USA. They sell the Focus and the Fiesta. Both terrific little cars.

  Interviewer#3: We are willing to accept 8 years of education with a Master's or equivalent on the subject of 2010 Escort navigation systems in lieu of 10 years driving experience, for otherwise qualified candidates Completely off-topic response to your note, but I loved my 2000 Focus and I was almost sad to sell it. It went through air intake hoses on the transmission about as fast as it did gasoline (hyperbole, but the Arizona heat was hell on that little rubber elbow. Fixing it took 5 minutes and cost $3 once a year, though, so as far as chronic car problems went it was pretty mild). It was still running strong after 12 years, and got my wife from Tucson to Seattle as safe as could be :3

      It's certainly a lot more fun.

      Yup, the per-mile risk is higher on short journeys. (Also you might want to edit your comment, it's ended up all on one line)

I was witness to the sending of a request for candidates with 3 years of Android experience to HR at 2011 at Intel. They just insisted that two or one isn't enough. First Android phones were release at 2008. In other news - I thank god I never were in as bad as interviews as some of you. My worst experience was the interviewer giving up and starting to ask me personal and professional stuff about another candidate to the same position. I guess I did a good job because the other candidate got it, company shutdown withing a year.
