My senior year, one of my professors told us to ignore the job requirements. Not only because the worst they can do is say no, but also because they usually post the skills of the guy LEAVING the post. Sure, he may have 10 years experience, but he was probably there for 10 years. Companies are looking for as close a replacement as possible.
