> When I last interviewed they sent out a huge pile of PDFs that said "think out loud" and "explain your thought process" I hated those type of interviews when I used to interview (as an interviewee) for programming positions. I am the kind of person that cannot multitask at all: I sometimes even have to close my eyes when I am thinking something before saying it. Nowadays I am on the other side being the interviewer for programming positions. I make it really clear at the beginning of the coding part: Feel free to shut up and think, focus on writing the code you'll write, and we will talk about it once you have finished.
