* 2-3 years in Vue, React, Angular, or any modern JS framework
When I posted it for remote only I advertised
* 2-3 years of Vue experience
There are _SO_ many applicants for a remote job (1000s), that I can be picky. So I will cut to the 500 that have the language I want, vs a slog through 5,000 that can maybe someday do what I want.
When you run a business and hire, you can totally do it different.
Once you are not filtering for location, other filters are necessary. You can't interview 1000 people.
I totally get that from an employee perspective, skills and domain knowledge are valuable and transferable. They absolutely would be perfect for your position. Vue experience is arbitrarily irrelevant.
What they don't get us that you don't want to interview 1000 people to find the "best one". You want to interview 5, and pick the best of those.
The trick (for hopefuls) is being one of the 5. -thats- the problem they have to creatively solve. Relying on your CV is the -least possible way of standing out-.
So I say this to all you bright folks looking for work - show some creativity, do something different, make my hiring easy. You can be great? Cool - prove it. Because there are thousands in line with you, and a CV is the least you can do.
Personally I don't apply to public job listings any more, even when I match all requirements. They are a waste of everyone's time. But networking has its limits.
