Thank you all for your replies and the info. Sorry to say, it’s all over my head. :) i was not asking specifically about IT stuff, i was referring in general to all the job ads that say “experience required.”

Use the want adds to find which companies are hiring. Lots of times job descriptions are inaccurate or dont reflect the latest manpower requirements. To get by the HR screeners you might want to compose a cover letter explaining how your background is relevant to the position. You may land an interview even if your experience does not completely qualify you.
Computer programming is probably not a good example because it is so specialized but there are lots of other corporate positions that require good dependable workers who can pass a background test. I was told by many recruiters that a candidate who really wants the job can sometimes trump a more experienced and more expensive candidate.
GOOD LUCK !!! Dont give up and dont be intimidated by all the high tech jargon.
