I think it depends on what kind of job you're advertising. I wouldn't want
to work at a job where my experience of 10 years ago isn't relevant. Indeed,
I've made quite a lot of money in the last 4 years based on what I was doing
in 1994.
If you say "We have a start-up company building a new and innovative X, but
don't bother to apply unless you understand Visual Basic and ASP.NET 3.5",
you're going to fail right there.
If you say "We have a McDonalds, and don't bother to apply unless you've run
a cash register in a fast-food restaurant before", I'm not going to apply.

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?
