[AccessD] On resumes and cover letters

[James Button]

I bet that you didn't mention the need for them to include the needed training
to maintain your skills to current environment  systems, and application levels
during your employment.
I suspect that would need at least 72 hours of commitment a day, and probably
over 50 weeks of training courses a year.

They to ensure that the specifically related ones of those courses be provided
before you are expected to employ the new techniques.

At least there was no specific need for 5 years experience using the windows
2019  environment 
- and haven't MS declared that there will be no new OS versions after windows 10
( oops 11, OK, maybe ...)? 

Maybe worth emailing the CEO, & CFO  indicating that, having been rejected you
suspect that a civil suit may be appropriate should they employ anybody who's
career does not include the full set of the required criteria.
