shouldn't they be have experience with other software?

Yea, that will look great on a resume .

I can see it now:

Interviewer: "Do you have any Photoshop experience?"

Job Applicant: " Well I've been using Gimp"

Interviewer: " You don't seem like a Gimp to me. Why are you so hard on
yourself?"

Job Applicant: "No, no no. I didn't say I *am* a Gimp, I said I *use* Gimp.

It's a *GNU* program.

Interviewer: Oh I see. So it's *new*? What happened to the old version?

Well leave your resume with the secretary and we will be in touch.

They probably should. But, not some obscure junk like 'Gimp'.

Interviewer: Hey, can you teach us?

Job Applicant: Yep, no problem.

Interviewer: When can you start?

Yea sure.....

The idea is to USE Photoshop to produce products that earn the company
$$$$$

The idea is NOT to have some new hire come into the company and proceed to
try and switch the staff, most of whom are probably experts at Photoshop,
to Gimp.

Obviously you've never worked at a real job or you wouldn't be making an
idiotic comment like that.

BTW I thought you kill filed me?
