>But you can't fake the thinking process, or how you approach a problem. You can't fake your communication style. And that is what doing it in a stressful situation shows - how do you really think and communicate under pressure? Totally different type of pressure. You're assuming timeline pressure and social pressure is the same thing. It is not. >does anyone ever get a better result in their job search after ranting about it online? I don't believe that was his objective. Maybe some hiring manager will read this while simultaneously complaining about not being able to find anyone and a light will come on. Maybe not.

Totally different type of pressure. You're assuming timeline pressure and social pressure is the same thing. It is not. If I'm applying for a senior developer/architect position, I should be able to think of a high level solution on the spot. When I was looking for a job a year or so ago, I thought I was interviewing for a regular developer position. I didn't realize I was interviewing for a lead position and they were looking for someone to create a development department from scratch. The first thing my now manager asked me was what steps I would take in the next 3-6 months to create the department.

  >The first thing my now manager asked me was what steps I would take in the next 3-6 months to create the department. Thinking and describing it is a lot easier than coding it on a whiteboard. I explain ideas to problems all day. I don't code it on a piece of paper and hand it to the board. If it's an important problem, I actually take some time to roll it over, as should anyone solving any important problem. White boarding code is a farce used by people who don't have any better ideas.

  > The first thing my now manager asked me was what steps I would take in the next 3-6 months to create the department. Am I going to have a hiring power? Is sufficient budget guaranteed to launch the department? Double yes or fuck off.
