I always wonder about positions like this. Who are the 
people hiring? They want specific experience in something 
that will take a week to get a grip on and 3 weeks before 
you'll be better at it that everyone else at the job. Do 
they ask a taxi driver if he's ever driven a Chevolet 
before. What happens when they do something new at this job? 
Are they going to hire someone with expertise in the new 
material? Do they ever do anything new?

I once interviewed for a job where it was critical that I 
understand some EMC machine. When asked if I'd used it, I 
said "no, but it has a manual?". I didn't get the job and 
I'm glad.
