  3. Personally, when the only non-vague requirement is “BS/MS in Computer Science or related field”, my socks stay on :)

    I’ve never seen lack of a CS-related degree decrease anyone’s contribution, all other parameters being equal. Smart companies looks for passion, personality and experience.

  4. @Adam: The first part of the post was directed to me. I replied that with my standard spiel: I know lots of people but I don’t know who is looking, if the job is PHP related, I’ll post it on my blog if you give me the reqs.

    @NY: That’s pretty common and why it’s put at the bottom. Ours adds something like “from a top 25 university” or something like that. It’s just a first pass filter/discouragement, not a be-all end-all exception. It comes down to what do you think would be a better filter:

    • BS/MS in CS or related field

    or

    • Zend Certified

    I’d do the former because there are a lot of good PHP developers who aren’t Zend Certified not to mention good developers who could be PHP developers.

    ( BTW, I’m not BS/MS in CS or related field. :-D )
