Wait until you ask for "SMD soldering" and someone clarifies in an=20
interview that their soldering experience is helping their dad weld when=20
working on a car.

The culture nowadays is to just throw out resumes *everywhere* to see=20
what sticks, but people take this to extremes.   It's the "swipe-right"=20
generation. :)

I've found it helpful to ask them to respond with a list of=20
microcontrollers or other specific devices/protocols they've worked on,=20
but it sounds like you're doing that already.

I'd highly recommend you avoid generic job-post sites, especially local=20
lists like Craigslist.  Dice etc is good, but a lot of people expect=20
relocation, etc so make if clear if you don't provide that.
I've found that approaching local groups on meetup, makerspaces, etc are=20
a good way to get the lead out, and it gets to people who know what=20
embedded means.

Where are you located?

Cheers,
-Neil.
