If you can't tell in a ten-minute casual conversation whether or not someone is grossly lying on their resume, you probably shouldn't be an interviewer.

- Analemma_ 8y agoThey can: with FizzBuzz. That's the whole point.
- modbait 8y agoNo--a ten-minute conversation with no coding, not a pop-quiz.
- calcifer 8y agoThat's not realistic. You and I are complete strangers; we can have a talk for 10 minutes where not a single word that comes out of my mouth is true and you'd be none the wiser.
- Clubber 8y agoIf you are a programmer, you can tell; just ask them about their previous projects. Dig into their answers and ask follow up questions. What data structure did you use to do this part? What in the database was designed poorly and why? (Every database has a design issue). I mean if you were at a party and some guy came up to you chatting, claiming to be a senior whatever at BigTechCo, you'd start chatting him up and you could tell if he was full of BS pretty quickly.
- modbait 8y agoExactly.
