Normally I get this kind if post but this one not so much. Some knowledge isn't something you just "pick up". I'm a software engineer now but my degree it's in mechanical engineering. If I were going for a M.E. job that required advanced knowledge if thermodynamics, heat transfer, calculus, statistics, etc, it would be ridiculous to say that I had started and run a few car repair shops and even ran a high end racing team where we built our own custom off-road truck and won the baja 1000. It's amazing experience but totally not applicable and doesn't mean I can just pick up the requires skills. Am I misreading this? The recruiter doesn't seem clueless.
