What caught my eye about this posting was passages like this:

Applies in-depth knowledge of discipline/specialty area standards and processes to work. Integrates industry experience and deep professional/ technical knowledge.

Even if you do not have the specific knowledge of systems like SAP and BOBJ that are key for this position, use the description as a starting point for exploring other possible positions, now or in coming weeks. The passage I quoted above is mostlikely from a template of base language for positions in this category. In the future there could be other Sr. Technical Architect positions that a great match.

For anyone who was wondering...

.. how it was that I pulled job adverts off a website like att.jobs (not a publisher, in the traditional sense, like I usually point you to...) Well- here's what I searched for:

content

That's all.

Oh, and btw, when I go to the publishers' websites, I search for:

customer service.

Nothing too complex about it.

EXCEPT as we librarians know: searching all depends upon the context. In each case I'm searching for the relevant word that is not core to the particular company's role in it's industry. Content may not be core to AT&T, but it extremely relevant. The same is true for Customer Service, thrown against Thomson Reuters' jobs website.
