    Regd interviews, there are a few types of candidates I could think of: 1>They just need the job, 2>They love technology, have amazing enthusiasm know the buzz words but dont know shit, 3>They dont love technology, but are great at it 4>They love technology and are great at it. We've ALL been one/all/few of these before. An interviewer himself has his own expectations abt the person he intends to hire, and he has his bunch of lies too abt his company and prospects. Most of the time, and REALLY MOST of the time, the candidate tries to project his attitude to the interviewer based on the reflection he gets from him or he is just a liar. Some succeed ,some screw up miserably. All I can say is, If I was a candidate being interviewed, I'd expect not being made fun/ridiculed at(before or after the int), no matter what or how I fare in the interview, so I'd just keep quiet after conducting the interview. The poor soul would be devastated (Maybe he might not)if he reads your post. If he is liar he is already punished by not getting the job. Remember you'd be a candidate too someday. No offence to you Nish, you are a nice guy :) I 'm sure there are ppl who might disagree with me, but that's my opinion. Hold me now I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking That maybe six feet Ain’t so far down

      Nope, I have interviewed a few people and many need to be laughed at. :) Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

We're never so disgusting as when we want something... :(

              I went to an interview a while back as I was looking for a change. I had what they were looking for from a CV point of view, but when it came to the technical test, it seemed the ITERVIEWER did not know what he was asking about, and when I answered something that he thought was wrong I did not get it. I heard this back from the agent who told me which question he said I got wrong, and that my understanding of a two topics (ATL and MTS/COM+) was fundamentally flawed. Starting to feel very unsure of myself I went away and checked, and, yes I was totaly correct, and the guy did not know what he was talking about. In away, I was happy with myself for standing my ground in the interview, but a shame that I did not convince him that he was wrong. Basically the same holds true of interviewies as it does for those iterviewers.

He went so far as to say that he would never used Stored Procedures, and always would include the SQL directly in the code. Made and initial excuse about a poor relationship with the DBA's. From his attitude I could see why. Having said that he then went on to slag of Views as well. He seemed to have no concept of what they could do from my questioning (SP's), and I started to doubt he had actually used one, never mind understand the concept.
