I love seeing things that ask for 5-10 years of professional experience in MySQL. I'm not saying that MySQL hasn't been around that long, it has.

The position is real, it's at Wells Fargo Mortgage. Three openings<br>
were posted last week and they're starting to look at resumes this<br>
week. I've now had about 12 recruiters call me because I posted my<br>
resume recently ;-)<br>

Re. the "10 years of [some specific thing that hasn't been around for<br>
10 years]" requirement, I've seen those pretty often and have always<br>
taken it as "10 years of [experience leading up to doing today] [some<br>
specific thing that hasn't been around for 10 years]".<br>
