well, I should say that the terms are so general that it is meaningless to google. :) But yes, there are actually things in my business not covered in google, unfortunately, that also means that they are learn-on-the-job activities too.

When I interview people, we have a dialog - it is pretty much impossible to fake with a search engine or a book. I never ask a question and then just let them "talk" :)
Or based on his profile and the most latest project that he has completed, we can start the questions and then delve deeper from thereon. Wouldn't that make the candidate comfortable step-by-step?

I was phone screening candidates a couple of weeks ago. One particular candidate was pausing before answering every question I asked him. Initially I thought this was a good trait ... like he was thinking the answer through before responding. However it did start to become like speaking to someone over a satellite phone, vaguely annoying. Eventually, listening careful, I figured out what was going on, during each pause I heard the sound of keyboard taps in the background. He was looking the answers up on Google..... :rolleyes:

Recent case in our company: an Indian guy applying for the senior position. The manager told that in the phone interview he has been like a machine – perfect answers for all of the questions. As you probably already presumed the live interview has been a complete disaster. They asked him the very same questions, like the phone one but they haven’t received a single answer. Yes – just a different person! Additionally he claimed that he have a university master degree from India, and also graduated in a college here in US. The gay was in visible age around 20-22 years. The whole thing was just a waste of time for our managers. P.P: Sorry for my painful English.

Not splitting hairs but you mean "guy" don't you, I doubt his sexual orientation was considered at the interview :-)

I think you might have missed one, or I have a cached copy... tried flushing the cache and reloading, but still shows one instance of 'guy' yet to be corrected from its mispelling. :)

I like this guy. He sounds like an excellent candidate for some VB.Net work we've been avoiding... :)
