Something Id like to share:
I have been interviewing for CF developer jobs and something that was mentioned to me
by one of the companies. They mentioned that I was dropped from the list of candidates
because there was doubt about my CF skills based on the limited number of projects I
have done. They then had me take the Brainbench test to 'rate my CF skills'. When I
scored a 4.31 which put me at a "Master" level, I was put back on the list of
candidates.
Just thought it was interesting how much companies/recruiters base their decisions on
the Brainbench test.
