On the other hand, someone can be a very skilled DBA without being a skiller performance tuning expert. "DBA" covers WAY too much scope these days.
That's why I used to check CV for responsibilities before interview. If your CV states that you are a performance tuning specialist and don't know what an execution plan is or where to find it and have never heard of Profiler, there's a problem...
