Getting past the non-techincal HR staff has long been a problem in the
tech industry.  One thing I've noticed is they don't know their are
equivalents to the name brand they're using.  If you've used one brand
of a tool, you're likely able to use a similar tool under a different
name.  I guess this is the same thinking that causes them to hire people
that know Word, rather than those who know how to use word processors.
