multiple data points that test for the same thing. Based on my own personal experience, this is my assessment of the interns who knew too much about interviewing questions They performed very badly compared to someone who did not pay enough attention to interviewing questions. Its as if the more they read about the various interview questions online, the less confident they were because there is always a tricky "problem solving question" they cannot answer. They showed reluctance to explore any new areas of engineering except writing java code. practically no curiosity in anything else. They truly believe that their job will be only writing more java code. Next time if you interview, change the context of the interview and talk to a new grad, some of them had solutions to 500 common interview problems and read every cracking interview book and blog and it still did not get them a job.
