Pro/E losing market share to SolidWorks?

[Tunalover]

I don't know about you, but since I've been on my job hunt I've noticed that employers are getting away from Pro/E and moving to SolidWorks. Anyone else see this? Comments? I just don't see Pro/E jobs advertised nearly as much as SolidWorks jobs!

@davidinindy-
When you are replying to an ad that says MUST HAVE you can't just ignore it and sell your other skills. One-dimensional HR robots screen the resume before anyone capable of reading between the lines (e.g. engineering manager) gets it. The way the process is set up, without a network connection to get straight to the hiring manager, an Einstein could not get one of these jobs without the MUST HAVE skills.

I hope you were being facetious about the hex head bolt vs. flat head screw. Anyone that has ever touched any hardware would know the difference .

I guess I've learned to get my resume into the hands of the right people and avoid the HR robots.

And no... I seriously worked with and engineer who brought me a hex head bolt when I asked for a flat head cap screw.
I got a blank look.
Many mechanical engineers are book smart, but have no common sense, or hands on skills.
