Hey Y'all: I encourage everyone interviewing job candidates to look at portfolios, ask technical questions and have them code some stuff for you on the spot.
I asked an interviewee to pseudo code a basic operation for me. The person wrote code with several unnecessary steps and didn't accomplish the goal requested. I suggested we don't hire them. Well, the powers that be did anyway. Then everyone on the team got to see similar convolutions, etc. Fortunetly, they were let go not too long after they were brought on. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
