Please understand that there were many job postings in 1997 requiring 5 
years of Java programming experience.  In a big company the HR 
department takes the job requirements that come in from IT and 'fixes 
them'.  So, if you see a job you might be good at, find out who the IT 
department contact is via contacts and bypass HR as much as possible.

I had a friend who wanted to work for Google and couldn't get a call 
back on his resume, but I put him in touch with a dedicated recruiter 
and he was a 'perfect match'.  And that's from a company you'd expect 
to be savvy in this regard.
