Have you ever seen a job posting for a position in your field, but the employer is clueless on what knowledge or skillset a person should have to accurately do the job?

Ha ha! Yes I've certainly have. Particularly working in the corporate world. I used to believe it was an indication of how stupid people can be . Experience showed me that in today's world jobs and responsibilities have become so specific that the person interviewing or your prospective boss just knows their job not everything about the job they're hiring you for. They may be the boss of you but not what you do. In some cases I found the person actually knew a lot but did not let his bosses know he did for fear they would just add it on to his job discription. It's better to play dumb sometimes like in"it not my yob."
