Why do people in tech think "proving you can do your job" is unique to tech? Tons of industrues has practical interviews. Do you really think a roofer shows up and says "I know what I am doing, just take me on my word" and gets a job?
- throwaway_xx9 10y agoActually, yes. Having done roofing on residential properties, you stick an ad in the newspaper, show up with a truck, provide an estimate and wait for the phone call. Nobody asks you to demonstrate that you can climb or hammer. I'm curious. When a plumber shows up at your house, do you whiteboard him?
- MustardTiger 10y agothrowaway_xx9 I don't know why your post is dead, but your example is obviously silly. That is not applying for a job, that is contracting to an individual. You don't face a technical interview contracting to an individual in programming either. But if you apply for a job as a roofer with a construction company, you absolutely have a practical interview.
