So, have you ever run across a job order that looks like they are asking for a candidate that can walk on water? Probably because they are. See, most companies have HR people post jobs NOT the manager who needs the employee. And HR just cuts and pastes jobs from the past job orders etc. But if you got the hiring manager on the phone and asked of these skills what are the must haves you would find that several of the skills aren't a must have. If you fit the job 80% apply to it.
