I had 2 emails from recruiters today that listed Experienced with symmetric encryption keys in Notes as a required skill. I was not familiar with that term so I went to the Help documentation in Notes and couldn't find it there either. After doing some searching on the net, I figured out that a symmetric encryption key is nothing more than a private key. Why couldn't they just say that??? Why do recruiters and managers have to make the job postings either incredibly hard to understand or impossible to fill due to the extensive list of irrelevant requirements? I mean how many people do you know who are an expert in Notes and an expert in Oracle, SAP, or .net? These days there is just too much to know to be truly proficient in multiple disciplines, unless the secondary subjects are directly related to your main knowledge set. In that case, you may be knowledgeable in that second area, but it is usually only when relating to the main area of expertise. For example, I know a bit about working in COM with Office, but that's only when I am writing LotusScript in a Notes Database. Get me in an Office only situation and I know only enough to be dangerous.
