The only exception I can see to this is when they say, "Okay, looks good, we
use xxx-application here, are you familiar with it?" On-dime&on-time may or
may not include re-training yourself to whatever they have available.
But then again, that can still be left to the resume... if they don't like
your work, they aren't gonna look at your resume, and they won't care how you
got to the finished product.
