"System Development Life Cycle documentation" experience might be a
requirement on a lot of the contracts let out by the person/company who
made this statement; however, this type of experience is not generally a
requirement for contractors in general.
The documentation sets for development methodologies tend to "look" the
same to a writer. After you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all,
whether the methodology is some form of protyping, JAD, RAD, or a
proprietary life cycle.
