Too Specialized

Is it me or does it seem as though the majority of decent positions, based on their descriptions, require a narrow list of hard skills (mostly technical)?

What's more, the companies posting these jobs seem completely inflexible about considering potentially qualified applicants who may not fit the exact job description.

Here's a clue: a good employee is one who has the ability to learn, and who may not necessarily fit inside some box made of industry jargon and buzzwords.
