wait, the people you interview can read? :)
we've had this discussion off and on on this list over the last few
years.
I've been on interviews where one of the questions was about what
"display" setting I needed to make in order to do an install. This is
Oracle? This is also documented in the install guide. a better question
would have been "what are the steps you take before doing an install?"
Standardized tests have standardized answers. The tests end up
published (or the interviewees publish the questions) and you get OCP.
I ask things like "tell me the thing you've done that you are most
proud of" and "tell me your nightmare situation and how did you recover
from it"
