Another question we used - look for some bad code in one of your own
programs. Ask
Sorty kevin I misread your question and missed the technical qyestions aside

My favorite non technical questions were:
Why should we hire you in 5 sentences or less
Explain to me a strength you bring and why you think its a strength
Whats a weakness you have and how do you plan to
Kevin,
Before I hire someone I try and contact every reference they provide. You
might think that is a waste of time since it is an easy way for the applicant
to boost their credibility. I found it very revealing.

One thing I learned the hard way - if an applicant takes a scheduled
phone interview while shopping at Walmart, don't hire that person! His
or her attitude toward you and your company becomes evident.

Hi Marc,
I don't suppose you have a copy of that program you'd be willing to share?

Charlie,
No, sorry. This was code on their in-house server. As I recall Figi's
program was a routine that read some files, did some calculations, and printed
out the results to green-bar.
You can build a similar test suite out of any program(s):
1) Chose working, cleanly designed, program.
I'll share the general sentiment that writing some code or debugging a live
program is important.

Whenever I interview, it's all about the work. I tend to give a technical
interview and avoid the "What can you bring to our company" types of
questions. HR wants to hire Game Show hosts. I need people who can
produce.
Find out what they know and how they think. And If you want to know

Some of these responses have been really good. Thanks, all.

Kevin,
Not that I have any real experience - at least not for what seems like a
lifetime - with hiring. But my instinct might be to let the applicant tell
me whatever they want. You know, just an open ended "Tell me what you would
like me to know about your skills, your ambitions and your work e
Tell me about the best boss you ever had, and why they were the best.

Depending on how you navigate to the documentation, you either get a success or
failure.
this fails:

this works:
https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/nxt/gateway.dll/RKB14/universe/11.1/translog.pdf
Why not let HR handle the personality questions and background checks,
that's what they do. That leaves you to concentrate on their technical
abilities.

You are right. We changed our naming conventions. Now while we may update one
or two manuals at any given point release (e.g. 11.1.11 or 11.1.12), we decided
to just keep calling the doc set 11.1. So if you've saved old links pointing to
11.1.11, you'd be better off going back and resaving them
Sorry about that, we did some reorganization and decided to just keep the first
2 digits of the database version, no matter the update level. So if you made
that 11.1 instead of 11.1.11 it should work now. You may have been accessing it
in the middle of the transition. Again apologies for the in

It still gives an error, if you navigate the way I describe below.
