I found that hilarious also: I could think some manager who had no understanding of technology had a policy of always asking for X years of experience, even in a technology that just emerged.
Part of that has been incompetent HR personnel and incompetent managers who cannot comprhend what they are asking for is ludicrous. We used to see IT advertisements with programming language experience that when all added up would have required the job seeker to have been working with those software languages since before FORTRAN and COBOL were invented.
Another part of the resume experience requirements creep is due to companies deliberately making impossible requirements to make sure only their pre-selected in-house or foreign job candidate would be allowed to phony qualify for a position that had to be advertised to the public.
