Not saying that whiteboard interviews are perfect, but is there something inherent to them that makes them favorable to younger applicants? Your main argument to this effect is: > Whiteboarding simply tests for skills that are not needed nor exercised once you're out of uni. But I don't know if "whiteboarding skills" are any more useful during college either. Also, I always thought explanations were the crucial part of the interview, and I think technical explanation is an important skill. That said, it may be a flawed practice. I'm open to arguments to that effect. But so is everything else[1]. I'm interested to hear some thoughts.
