And to add to this, employers think that there are a plethora of experienced infosec guys out there and they make demands on "requirements" that just are not realistic. Many times asking for what would equate to multiple jobs. "Segregation of duties" anyone? I had an HR person tell me that I was not considered because I performed the duties they were after more than 5 years ago. Apparently they think that if you haven't done it lately, you clear your cache of any unused information. I actually asked one HR person, " Did you forget how to ride a bike?" She was stunned and didn't know how to answer that question.
So this article is just another journalistic waste of time, and waste of my time perusing it. Employers must consider a person's experience and allow some room for training/learning of new skills particular to their environment. That's the only way you are going to get past a couple of skills unless you work for a very small company and are doing it all.
