networkworld.com — Clean up your resume and get rid of these if yo have them. Technical skills may never die, but areas of expertise wane in importance as technology advances force companies to evolve and IT staff to forsake yesterday’s craft in favor of tomorrow’s must-have talent.

They are being snobs. They were too smart of cool to go to university... or something like that. To be certain, DeVry and Itt are vocational training more than university, but there is nothing wrong with it.

A few years back, I tried culling down my list of r?sum? skills to only the most relevant and current things that I do. At the very next interview I attended, the hiring manager proclaimed that I didn't seem to have broad experience (despite my decade of it). I immediately re-added all things arcane to the list. Yeah, so now I have to explain that I'm not current in LISP and x86 assembly (funny how often these dudes delve into stuff that isn't even relevant to the job). I'd rather tell my anecdote than try to fix a bad first impression.
