    Also someone with 7 years DBA experience could well have only 6 months. The other 6 and a half years is really developer experience which they have fudged on their CV to look like they were a DBA

    Exactly. There's a joke that's developed around here: Do you have twenty years of experience or one year of experience twenty times?

    When it's the latter, it's easy to spot.
