Good list... but "thin skinned need not apply" is funny. It should be a tenet of IT hiring, but oddly I see mostly developers and network admins that are "never wrong" and smug about it even when faced with facts otherwise. And, that's with over 12 years of IT in 4 industries, be it Healthcare IT, Retail/E-Commerce IT, TeleComm IT or Defense Department.... conincidental, I think not. cheers!
