(Actually, don't do that, everywhere that hires coders wants you to have 10 years experience in a dozen languages so they can hire an indian for pennies a day when no-one meets the requirements.)
An alternate theory I've heard for that is: HR has no clue how to specify the level of experience they're looking for in a programmer, so they guesstimate a number of years based on whether they want beginner, intermediate, or expert.
Yeah, that's what I've thought too - in my (plenty of) interview experiences, I have to specifically ask if the job listing was written by HR or by the hiring manager, if I'm interviewing with HR or a hiring manager, and so on. Basically - HR useless and retarded; hiring manager typically knows what they're looking for and wanting.
Of course, that's not to detract from big boy multinationals trying to abuse lax labor regs for slave laborers
Actually, do, because there are plenty of jobs available! Hard part is weeding out the retarded HR job postings and actual realistic job postings. I have no college degree or experience and went straight into a career after a 10 week programming bootcamp!
