You have a good point about not having the right skills on the resume up to a certain point. If you are posting on some job board then of course your resume will get missed by the HR person doing their daily rake of resumes. And I totally agree with you that there are tons of people out there who could do the job better than a "J2EE person" with a couple years of experience. But do they WANT to do the job that I have for them? The answer is that usually they don't.
When I wrote that I was looking for a Java/J2EE person, I meant I was looking for someone capable and willing to work with Java and J2EE. When I say capable, I mean they must be able to do the work rather than have it on their resume. I find it interesting that I have to make that point. Most good teams are run by people who know a good programmer when they see one. If you show me a resume that says you do good work and you can program well, then I don't care what technologies you don't have experience with.
Are those great programmers you are talking about willing to do the Java work? Are they in the bay area?
If so, I know of 2 great job openings, let's get in touch.
