We don't use that old version here. Sorry, we don't have any company laptops available with it installed. No, install the latest version of X/Y/Z on yours. Let me get the wifi password for you.
(checks watch, leaves room for a really long time, comes back with password, checks watch again)
(while it's installing) So, how long have you been writing in X/Y/Z? Do you have any questions for me?

Looks like my 30 minutes are up. I'll go check with #RECEPTIONIST and see if there's anyone else to interview you.
(later, at the wrap-up meeting) I didn't think they had the experience necessary to do the job. They couldn't write a program in X/Y/Z.
