Notes: Looked at the demo of QTP today. Realized that I had used it before at a past job when I was assigned to review automated tools for possibly use. I find it to be very much like the other automation tools I have used. I don't understand why recruiters are making a big deal out of how much experience one has with QTP vs. any other (Silk, WinRunner, etc). They all seem to be based off the same features, and bastardized scripting languages.
Not adding it to the resume as a skill yet, but I defiantly feel that if I am to work with it for a few weeks I could easily master it.

*Update: I just heard back on the resume I sent out this morning. The recruiter is refusing to submit me for the job. Why? QTP not on my resume!
Forget that I have over 10 years in the field, and loads of automation experience with tools that are very similar to QTP.
I'm not about to lie on my resume, but crap like this pushes me close to doing so.
