I thought that sounded

I thought that sounded familiar... and I was right. I had a recruiter send me an email about that one yesterday. I've actually got more or less most of what they are looking for, albeit spread willy-nilly over my 20+ year career. About the only thing I don't have is that I've never actually worked directly as a primary SQA person, although I've written test plans, written testing tools and frameworks, interfaced with QA testers and even helped with QA testing during crunch periods... I've of course worked with a number of bug tracking tools and even been trained on automated testing tools like the Mercury Win/X/Load Runner suite.

Anyway, it does pretty much sound like a non-job. I sent back a reply asking for more details on what they are really looking for, since their requirements are all over the place and kind of vague and I've not gotten any response back yet.

Its probably all a waste of time since chances are it probably pays poorly too.

Its almost as bad as the job description I got the other day where they wanted someone with development experience on all three of the main platforms in use today (Windows, MacOSX and Linux/UNIX), no less than 7 different programming and/or scripting languages and 3 different RDBMS systems, not to mention a bunch of 3rd party software and tools. They weren't kidding when they say "dynamic environment"... more like utterly chaotic environment. That one had the added bonus of low-mid-market rates on a contract-to-hire deal. As if I'd take an effective pay cut for that even if I was a 110% match. I'm running out of ways to politely say 'no thanks'.
