Hmm.  I hadn&#x27;t thought about &#x27;no learning on the job&#x27; as &#x27;this will stall my career development&#x27;.<p>You make a really good point.  There is a certain area between &#x27;you don&#x27;t have the skills needed to become useful&#x27; and &#x27;you can pick these up in short time&#x27; - but I think I have been looking at this wrong another way.  I do apply to positions I feel I&#x27;m unqualified for (within reason), but it&#x27;s also ridiculous for me to think companies expect all-knowing engineers.  Any other trade would have a worker learning new skills on the job.<p>My resume does change fairly often - I had an interview a couple weeks ago where I was a little embarrassed because I went in with my current version and they pulled out the resume I had from 5 months ago.  I was like, &#x27;er... may I see that?&#x27;<p>On a side-note I think wining and dining potential employers is a fabulous idea, even friends for interview practice.<p>Thank you for your feedback &lt;3
