I went to a 'matchmaking' event - and found loads of projects much more 
interesting in reality than they were on paper

a lot of the project specs had been written by people who had no IT 
skills but still tried to write the spec in technical terms (apparently 
this is common in the legal arena too !)

The result was that people wrote a list a required skills - that just 
happened to be the stuff they had heard of - so I'd suggest interpreting 
MS Access - generic db skills needed
ASP scripting - they want some kind of dynamic website
Exchange admin skills -  they need a mail server
etc

Certainly in the areas I was looking at (databse/web) - people were very 
open to suggestion as to the appropriate technology.
