In the last week or two, the idea of hosting mock interviews has taken the Twitch.TV "Programming" Community by storm. A number of willing victims have volunteered to go through the process of solving a problem within a set time limit. In general the interviewers have been able to stay positive even when people are so inexperienced they are clearly overwhelmed by the adventure. My impression is that going through a mock interview in this way has pulled back the curtain on a process that a select few have been able to shake their network (school alumni, etc.) to do something similar privately.
