I'd only keep the last two questions
Right on, Jake.
For me the truly relevant questions are 7 to 10. I was hoping 1-5 might
just give the hand-coders a leg up. Number 6 is mostly a gag :)
Also, an inability to answer any one of the
CSS questions wouldn't necessarily be an indication of lack of talent,
I think it took me quite a few months to stop checking my CSS cheat
sheet before I memorized Top Right Bottom Left!
So true! Me too!
It's almost like unconsciously I want to test candidates on what I
happen to already know. Not a real measure of talent or even real knowledge.
This worksheet looks like it
might be appropriate for 1. Straight out of college or 2. Hobbyist web
developer (no CS degree).
I'm not sure why we're asking for two years experience... I know we're
not requiring CS degree.
I believe a recent college grad could swing it. In fact, who cares that
they even have a college degree?
Any webmaster/developer with two REAL (full time tech company) years
of experience would be able to have a much more in depth conversation
about web design philosophy, best practices and commonly accepted
methods of accomplishing a given task.
True. I hope we can find someone who's actually interested in this stuff.
I myself could spend hours arguing about doctypes, semantics shibboleths
or whatever. But then again, I'm committed to excellence ;)
