Those are good points. To my "developer" mind interviewing has a lot more in common with web page hacking. It is pretty easy to make something that will only work in one browser, but you can follow good rules and make something that will be fantastic in most browsers. That is the basic idea with the pay off being a better job or higher pay by learning and practicing a more effective general interview style. A few things that are easily fixed: - People don't read job descriptions - People don't research the company they send their resume to. - People don't write a cover letter - People don't read the emails they get from recruiters or prepare for interviews. - People act like horny teenagers on the phone, so desperate to be liked that they lose all appeal. - People act as if they have never seen a white board. - People don't prep themselves on software design, database queries, etc. - People don't ask questions of a recruiter or show interest in the position at all (but later hound me via email as if they were an ace in the hole). There are others of course. But 9 out of ten qualified candidates fail on at least 3 or 4 of these basic marks.
