That is a very dangerous gamble though because the next question would be "you did all that? How cool! Tell me more details!" and my experience shows that faking the details, unless you've done at least something very close to what you claim you did, is not very easy. And generic bullshit is rather easy to detect - usually you can see when the person is genuinely talking about something they did and are excited to share and when they're just stalling because they have no idea. Of course, once in a while you can get a bullshit artist of high caliber - but those very quickly reveal themselves when you ask them to actually do something.
- ozim 7y agoYeah... or I have been working on that cool project six months ago and by the time we just have this talk I had a 100 other things on my plate which are not that cool. Then maybe I want to change job because we got new boss that was stressing me out for 3 months and I gave up. So I am rusty on the details and I am also intimidated when you bring in 3 people to have talk about it. I would say it is OK if it works for you but it still might be that you drop off some good guys. Because it is environment that creates good employees, and if someone was working for months or years in a bad environment, he can be perfectly capable of doing work, but not being confident and feeling good about talking about his last job.
