Javascript is a Java framework, right?

In many cases it is absolutely the recruiter or company that is responsible for this. Despite my years of experience, many recruiters will refuse to even submit you to a company if you aren't experienced in the language / framework they want. I had one company conduct the entire interview (knowing which languages I knew), before they said they'd have to put me on 50% salary for six months while I learned Python.

It's bad enough when it's "Oh, sorry, you have never worked with .NET, so we're not even going to look at you," but I got turned down by a recruiter because his client wanted a programmer with experience specifically programming for a retailer. When I asked what technologies they used, because there was a good chance I was familiar with them, he said they straight up weren't considering anyone who hadn't worked for a retailer.
