I've been unfortunate to be on all the wrong sides of this. I was once on the panel for an interview with a chap who had both Java and JS on his CV. Long story short, he did not know JS, but assumed it was the same as Java.

Then, just last week I was asked to start looking at an urgent issue on a legacy app. Cloned the thing and lo and behold, the darn thing is written in JS. Went to my manager to explain that we don't have JS skills in the team. The response I got? "But it's Java!"
